Justice Olalekan Oresanya of an Ikeja High Court has awarded N5million damages against singer Oxlade (real name Ikuforijimi Olaitan Abdulrahman) over a leaked s3x tape with a woman named John Blessing ..
The tape was leaked on Snapchat.
In the judgement dated January 24,2023 Justice Oresanya described the action of the singer, in secretly recording his act with a woman and thereafter leaking it online as “despicable, horrendous, distasteful and classless.”
The sex tape surfaced online in February 2022, without the knowledge and consent of the woman involved in the video.
The leaked video sparked public outrage, and forced Oxlade to tender an apology to his fans and to the woman in the video.
John Blessing filed a suit before the court on March 15, 2022 seeking N20million damages and a declaration that the respondent (Oxlade’s) act of recording his explicit sexual acts without her knowledge and consent amounted to flagrant contravention of enabling laws and a gross violation of her fundamental rights to dignity, privacy and freedom from discrimination guaranteed under Sections 34 and 37 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended); and Articles 5 of the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights (Ratification and Enforcement), Act, CAP A9, LFN, 2004.
After hearing counsel for the claimant, E. T. Idemudia and O. S. Mabekoje with U. R. Michael for the respondent, the judge had set for judgment when parties agreed to opt for amicable resolution via a consent judgement.
Delivering judgment in the matter, Justice Oresanya chastised the singer and cautioned him against such act in his relationship with the opposite sex in the future.
Oxlade is to pay the N5million damages awarded against him to the claimant in two instalments of N2million and N3million respectively.
Both aprtoes are also to keep certain aspect of the Judgement private otherwise there would be consequences...

ReplyDeleteBabe is 5meters richer, with ashi daint on her personality, oxlade wetin u gain from leaking the nonsense tape.
ReplyDeletetoo small.by the time she pays legal fees etc it won't be enough for the damages caused by the video
DeleteWhat if he appeals?
DeleteGenerally, no appeal against consent judgments. An intending appellant must meet very high conditions before a consent judgment is set aside. And if he appeals in this case, he is likely to pay the full N20m at the end of the case.
