Famous comedian, Mr. Macaroni drags two APC supporters to court, ENigeria Newspaper reports.

ENigeria Newspaper reports that Mr Macaroni, real name Adebowale Debo Adedayo, a famous Nigerian content creator is now set for a legal battle with two supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress over an alleged libelous social media comments.

Macaroni said he had instructed his lawyers to file a lawsuit against the individuals known as Sadiq and Qudus Akanbi, who accused him of collecting N7m from a diaspora group to support the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi.

Akanbi, with Twitter username @Qdpaper 2, had in November 2022 tweeted: “Wow wow so Macaroni was giving 7m from diasporans supporters of Peter Obi to make an official statement that he will vote him. So this hungry Elete ponmo is so cheap and this hungry, hey God Dem no dey give shishi they say.” (sic).

Together with Sadiq, Macaroni decided to sue him for what he perceived to be an assault on his reputation.

The second respondent had already received his writ of summons, according to a tweet by him via his verified handle.

After learning that Macaroni had taken the matter to court, Qudus tweeted: “Dear Macaroni, you have blocked me, and I have blocked you too. You don’t have to look for me. We both live in Lagos, just tell me your lawyer’s chamber and let me pick up my later.” (sic)
However, in order to properly address Qudus in the letter, the content producer requested that Qudus give his full name.

Sharing the screenshots of old tweets in which he was falsely accused and attacked by Akanbi with other supporters of the ruling party, he said, “Dear Qudus, I have unblocked you.”

All I need is your full Government name and address so that the letter can be properly addressed to you. Please don’t stress yourself to pick it up. You can Dm me or send it to the mail in my bio. It will be delivered to you as a valentine’s gift.

“Of all the people that attack me daily, I called out Qudus and one other Sadiq for false accusations. The reason I made this public is that we couldn’t get an address for Qudus. Sadiq has received his letter, and a suit will follow soon as we get a response.”
