“Aunty called me and asked me to give the phone to one of the doctors there and she told the doctor to make sure they give him all the treatment he deserves, I was not aware that they were going to admit us because I only had one cloth and that cloth was the one I was wearing even with my sons, I told her and she said I should not worry, she will send someone to shop for me and my sons, even the food we ate for five days was on her, me, nanny and one of my sisters.”

Still showing gratitude, Success continued: “After they discharged us, they gave us the bill it was a huge 1 million and the doctor told me immediately that it was cleared by Mrs Funke Akindele, I was surprised and I called her and told her that what have I done to you deserve all this from you?”

Halima Abubakar slams AGN President with N30bn lawsuit

Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar has filed a lawsuit against the National President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, seeking N30 billion in damages.

This legal move follows an incident on October 17, 2024, when the AGN, through Rollas’ social media handle, announced Abubakar’s indefinite suspension from the guild.

The statement accused Abubakar of being responsible for spreading defamatory information about AGN members, particularly rumors of extramarital affairs involving prominent individuals linked to the entertainment industry.

In response, Halima Abubakar expressed her shock at the accusations, stating that she had never been contacted by the AGN or given an opportunity to respond to the claims before seeing news of her suspension circulating on social media.

READ ALSO:

In a letter dated October 20, 2024, Abubakar’s legal representatives, P.D. Pius & Associates, condemned the AGN President’s actions, accusing him of deliberately tarnishing her reputation. The letter emphasized that the false narrative was intended to “denigrate her, cast aspersions on her, and stir up social opprobrium.”

The letter further stated, “Our client has been battling health issues for years, and despite maintaining a professional relationship, you chose this delicate moment during her recovery to spread a negative and false narrative. This has caused her emotional and psychological distress and harmed her reputation among right-thinking members of society.”

The solicitors demanded the immediate removal of the defamatory publication and an unreserved public apology on Rollas’ Instagram page. Additionally, they demanded N30 billion in damages for reputational harm.

The letter concluded with a warning: “Unless these demands are met within seven days, we are instructed by our client to pursue appropriate legal action.”

This includes those mentioned in recent reports linking individuals to alleged dealings with Senate President Godswill Akpabio, with the Guild’s secret panel continuing its inquiry.
