Linda Ikeji under fire for plagiarism, libel
Controversial blogger, Linda Ikeji, made the news headlines twice last week for the wrong reasons.
First, she set Nigeria’s blogosphere on fire when she alleged that John Abayomi, an online editor with Punch Newspapers, is the brain behind Instablog9ja – a platform that 1.8 million people follow for their daily dose of gossip.
Mr. Abayomi through his lawyer, Femi Falana, claimed that the publication has put his life and that of his family in danger. In the letter delivered to the blogger on Friday, Linda was asked to tender an unreserved apology within forty-eight hours or risk legal action.
Mr Abayomi’s lawyers said Linda’s claims are untrue and unfounded, but only calculated to lower Mr Abayomi’s esteem and damage his reputation and professional career.
Gossip blogger, Stella Dimoko-Korkus, also accused Linda of plagiarizing a story she ‘stole’ from her blog without acknowledging the source. Despite pleas from concerned fans, both bloggers traded insults on Instagram all through Friday night.
