In response to statements made by Madam Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo on social media and in several media outlets suggesting that Michael Ugochukwu Stephens, aka Ruggedman was inadvertently involved in events leading up to the arrest of Nigerian music artist popularly known as NairaMarley by the EFCC, a court suit has been filed.
The suit filed by K&C Partners as appointed by Ruggedman requests that madam Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo retract all statements made with regard Ruggedman and his alleged involvement in the NairaMarley affair; that Madam Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo tender her unreserved apology for making such statements that were clearly engineered to cause a stir in the news to further her personal agenda; that Madam Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo cease to make further statements in this regard.
To this end, Madam Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo was served a letter stating these requests and she was granted 48hrs to take necessary action, failing which K&C Partners on behalf of their client Ruggedman are set to take any and all legal action.
