Former Big Brother Naija Housemate, Neo Akpofure, has issued a legal notice demanding a public retraction and apology from a lady who on Tuesday, February 17, took to her X handle to accuse him of sexual ass@ult.
The lady with her handle @notralia, had alleged that herself and Neo used to be casual se# buddied while they were at the University of Calabar. She said they agreed to be friends with benefit on the condition that none of them would be in a relationship. She claimed that she found out that Neo was in a relationship, stormed his house to confront him and that it was then that he r@ped her.
In a letter dated February 18, 2026, and issued by the law firm E.L. Akpofure, San & Co., the legal team accused the X user identified as Ms. Arikan Udoka, of publishing defamatory content against their client.
Neo’s lawyers strongly denied the allegation, describing it as “entirely false, malicious and defamatory,” and accused the accuser of damaging their client’s reputation and exposing him to public ridicule.
“The allegation falsely portrays our client as a sexual offender and a criminal, thereby subjecting him to public odium, reputational injury and emotional distress,” the letter stated.
The legal notice demanded that the X user delete the post and any related publications, issue a clear public retraction, and publish an apology acknowledging that the allegations were untrue. The lawyers also requested a written undertaking that no further defamatory statements would be made.
The firm warned that failure to comply within 48 hours would result in legal action, including a civil suit for defamation under Nigerian law.
