Nigerian writer and blogger Toby Emmanuel, popularly known as Tobywrites, has spoken out following alleged defamatory statements made by former Big Brother Naija star Natacha Akide, also known as Tacha.
Earlier this week, Tacha took to X (formerly Twitter) where she accused Tobywrites of mistreating thousands of people and further alleged that he was involved in trafficking women.
Tobywrites has strongly denied the accusations, describing them as false and unfounded.
The situation quickly escalated into an online exchange between both parties, which eventually led Tobywrites to take legal action against the reality TV personality.
Sharing an update, Tobywrites revealed that his legal team had contacted Tacha via email. He also posted a copy of the legal document, which outlined the specific tweets in question and labeled them as defamatory and irresponsible.
According to the document, he is seeking substantial financial compensation for damages. Reports also suggest that he filed a petition with Guinness World Records concerning a title associated with Tacha.
Tobywrites further stated that the lawsuit is only one of several steps he intends to take in response to the allegations.

@Yussufazeez10:”Doing each other, are you seriously asking this?Did he make any unfounded claim or accusation towards her? Well, she did by calling him a vile perosn, a child trafficker and molester. She has to prove it in court.:
@Kattaiwo:”Going at each other is not the same as a vile accusations. Did you read what they quoted from her on the letter?”
@The trun_numero:”People are getting sued just for banters these days, it’s really getting slippery out there.”
@Roxy:”But you guys were doing at each other though? Why are you suing? Did she sue him first?”
@Coded:”He didn’t cast aspersions on her person as she did on his person several times.”
