Popular Nollywood star Adunni Ade has secured a landmark legal victory against a Nigerian news outlet over defamatory allegations.
Taking to Instagram, the actress announced her successful lawsuit against Polace Media Limited, operators of NaijaNews.com, marking a triumph for truth in journalism.
The legal battle stemmed from a 2022 report falsely linking Ade to Senator Dino Melaye among other celebrities—a claim she vehemently denied before filing a N100 million defamation suit.
In her emotional Instagram post, Ade praised the Nigerian judiciary for upholding justice after nearly two years of litigation.
The actress shared: “Justice prevails — Adunni Ade vs. Polace Media Limited (NaijaNews.com)
Falsehoods were published, but truth ultimately prevailed.
This ruling sets an important precedent—your reputation matters, and so does factual reporting.
While justice took time, it was never denied.
Eternal gratitude to my legal team at Olumide Babalola LP—your dedication made this victory possible.
Two cases down, more battles ahead. To those evading service: your time is coming.
And to the fellow actress who spread malicious lies—your true colors will soon be revealed. The venom you carry speaks volumes. Remember what you confessed in private?
Nevertheless, I remain grateful to Nigeria’s judicial system.”
