Instagram dancer, Usiwo Orezimena Jane, popularly known as Jane Mena, has sued actress Tonto Dikeh for N500m for defamation of character.

Recall that in September 2021, Tonto in a post shared on her Instagram page revealed that her ex-boyfriend, Prince Kpokpogri has sex tapes of every woman he has slept with, including celebrity dancer, Jane Mena, a married woman.

Jane had in a cryptic message accused both Tonto Dikeh and her ex boyfriend of unecessary publicity stunt. Kpokpogri would later deny having an intimate affair with Jane, saying it was against his tradition to sleep with a married woman. He insisted that he had only met Jane once in his entire life.

A video soon after emerged suggesting that he had met Jane more than once.

Now, Jane has filed a petition before the police against the controversial actress, demanding an apology in four national dailies in Nigeria for defamation of character.

The petition written on her behalf by her solicitors, Rockson Igelige, of Felix, Igelige & Associates, described Tonto Dikeh’s claims as malicious.

Jane Mena also demanded a retraction of publication by Tonto Dikeh on all her social media pages. Part of the petition read: “These malicious publications by Tonto and in the context in which it was made, was understood by Janemena to mean the following amongst other things:

1. That she is a married woman had and is still having an amorous or sexual relationship with Prince Kpokpogri (referred to in the publications as Joseph Egbri) who is not Jane Mena’s husband.

2. That she is cheating on her lawful wedded husband.

3. That she has sex tapes.

4. That she distributes sex tapes.

5. That her sex tapes (old and very recent ones) are in possession of PRINCE KPOKPOGRI (Joseph Egbri) with which he will use to blackmail our client any moment from now.”

Mena also asked that the actress tender an unreserved apology to her and pay the sum of N500 million as exemplary damages for the malicious publications.

Mena’s lawyer also warned Tonto Dikeh that legal action will be taken against her if she failed to meet their demands within one month of receiving the petition.
