Former Nollywood actress Regina Askia stated that legal expert Femi Falana has the right to pursue a defamation lawsuit against social critic Martin Otse (VDM) or resolve the matter as he sees fit. However, she believes that the underlying issues that prompted the defamatory comments have been overlooked.
On October 14, an Ikeja High Court ordered VDM to remove his defamatory posts about the Falanas and instructed the Falanas to serve him their defamation suit through his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju. Following this, false reports circulated on social media claiming that the court had fined VDM N500 million. In response, Regina posted on Instagram questioning the credibility of the fine and highlighting that no one was addressing the person responsible for the claims made in VDM’s audio tape.
