Nollywood actress Adunni Ade has emerged victorious in a defamation case against a Nigerian news website, nearly two years after being wrongly linked to Senator Dino Melaye.
Legal victory and public response
On her Instagram page, Adunni Ade celebrated the ruling, stating, “Justice delayed isn’t justice denied.” She affirmed her belief in truth and the importance of privacy and integrity.
She also mentioned that while ₦20 million in damages was awarded, the defendant remains unreachable for judgment enforcement.
Context and significance
The case stemmed from a false article listing her among six celebrities allegedly dating Senator Melaye. Adunni Ade denied the claims, filed suit, and now sees a legal vindication. She hinted at more ongoing legal battles and urged those evading court summons to face the process.
