Actress Dakore Akande has sent a cease and desist action to the notorious Instagram blog “Gistloversblog” in response to a post associating her romantically with Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
According to the notification, Akande’s legal counsel claimed that the site published “suggestive and libellous content” containing Akande’s photograph, which could “tarnish our Client’s reputation.”

The story, which has now gone viral, connects Akande to Akpabio, despite her being “happily married to Mr Akande for many years” and having “never met the said Senate President in person or otherwise.”
Akande’s attorneys have demanded that the offending tweet be removed immediately, as well as a halt to “any further defamatory statements” about the actress.
Her legal counsel indicated that failure to comply within 24 hours could result in “aggressive legal actions,” such as seeking damages, injunctive relief, and legal fees.
The notification references Section 375 of the Criminal Code Act, hinting that the post may be considered defamatory.
