Dakore Egbuson has swiftly responded to allegations made by Gistlovers Blog, which listed her among the alleged side chicks of Senator Godswill Akpabio.

The actress immediately took to social media to express her shock and dismay over the accusations, and she announced her intention to pursue legal action against the blog.

True to her word, Dakore recently issued a formal cease and desist letter to Gistlovers Blog. The letter, released by her legal representatives, reads:

“We act as legal representatives for Mrs. Dakore Egbuson Akande (‘Our Client’) and write regarding the aforementioned subject matter.

It has come to our attention that a suggestive and libelous post bearing our Client’s image and likeness emanated from a social media platform via this Instagram handle: @Gistloversblog, as well as other associated handles @Gistloversblog_mediaoutlet and @Gistloversblog_mediahouse.

This letter serves as a formal cease and desist notice demanding that you immediately remove the incriminating post containing a picture of our client falsely connecting her to the Senate President of the National Assembly of Nigeria, Senator (Dr) Godswill Obot Akpabio, as well as false remarks on Instagram. Let it be on record that our client is happily married to Mr. Akande and has been for many years, earns an honest living as an actor and media personality, and has never met the said Senate President in person or otherwise.

Such libelous information has the potential to tarnish our Client’s reputation. Your actions in spreading such misinformation are both damaging and unlawful. You will refrain immediately from making any further defamatory statements about our Client.

Your slanderous remarks are actionable under the law per the provisions of Section 375 of the Criminal Code Act. Failure to comply with this demand will leave us with no choice but to pursue aggressive legal actions against you. These actions may include seeking damages, injunctive relief, and legal costs incurred due to your defamation. We expect your full and prompt compliance with this cease and desist demand within the next 24 hours of receiving this notice. We shall monitor the situation closely to ensure corrective action is taken.”
