Funke Akindele’s Lawyer Writes Linda Ikeji

It seems Nigeria’s top blogger, Linda Ikeji, has once again, been called out by another celebrity. This time it is actress, Funke Akindele. 


Her lawyers on Monday served Linda papers, asking her to apologise for her post on their client, or get ready to go to court. This was in relation to a story published on Linda’s blog. The letter described the blog post as false and has done their client, Funke, injustice.

The whole story started with a perceived bad blood between Funke and fellow actress, Toyin Aimaku. After the story broke last week that Aimaku’s marriage has hit the rocks,

 Linda claimed that Funke had gone on social media to taunt Aimaku over her failed marriage. Linda later claimed that Funke had removed the remarks from her social media handle. 

This was after many people tried to confirm Linda’s story. Box Office also searched Funke’s handle and found nothing like that.

 Linda has, however, sworn that Funke posted it and later removed it.  Funke and her lawyers are not taking the matter lying low, as they have given Linda time to apologise and remove the post on her blog. When Box Office reached Funke, she refused to speak on the matter.
