Adunni Ade Wins N20 Million Lawsuit Against Blogger Over False Story
Nollywood actress Adunni Ade has announced a major legal victory after winning a N20 million judgment against an online blogger who published a false story about her private life. The controversial post had claimed that the actress was romantically involved with Senator Dino Melaye, a report she described as completely untrue and damaging to her reputation.
Adunni filed a lawsuit against the blog, stating that the story portrayed her misleadingly and offensively. She argued that the publication violated her right to privacy under Section 37 of the Nigerian Constitution and the Nigeria Delta Protection Act, 2023. After a thorough court process, she revealed that the judge awarded her N20 million in damages for the false claim.
The actress celebrated the ruling as a victory for truth, privacy, and integrity. Taking to Instagram, she expressed gratitude to her legal team and encouraged others facing similar defamation issues to remain firm in seeking justice. “I won my case — Adunni Ade vs. Polace Media Limited. A false story was published about me, but truth stood tall. This judgment reaffirms that privacy matters — and so does integrity,” she wrote.
Adunni also praised her lawyer, Olumide Babalola, for his dedication and mentioned that this was her second legal win, with more cases still ongoing. “Justice delayed isn’t justice denied. Many thanks to my Lawyer! You worked tirelessly on this case. Two cases won, a few more to go,” she added.
In her post, Adunni also issued a subtle warning to another actress she accused of spreading lies about her. Without naming the person, she wrote, “To you, my fellow actress, who told a false story to that blogger, don’t worry, soon the world will know the kind of snake you are. Envy and bitterness live within you. You are deadly!”
The actress’s public statement has sparked conversations across social media, with fans and colleagues applauding her courage to take legal action instead of ignoring the issue. Many praised her for standing up for her dignity and setting an example for other celebrities facing online defamation.
Adunni’s victory marks another milestone in her ongoing battle against false media narratives, reinforcing her belief that justice always prevails when truth is on one’s side.
