“We Have Found A Scapegoat” – Actor Sam Ajibola

Nollywood actor Sam Ajibola, better known as Spiff in The Johnsons, has filed a lawsuit against a Tiktoker and Tunde Ednut for posting abusive comments about his wife, son, and ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Ifeanyi Aniekwe aka @gossipbobo, a TikToker, had posted a photo of Sam, his wife, and son with the ex-Nigerian president, along with a message that implied Spiff’s son was not his.

“Obasanjo and his Secretary’s baby boy”, Ifeanyi wrote.

Tunde Ednut, a blogger, then uploaded the post on his Instagram page, where it drew some negative feedback. Other Nigerians and sites have also shared the post on their respective accounts.

Sam responded to the post by saying it wounded him since that narrative has been going on for far too long. He uploaded a direct message Ifeanyi sent to his wife, apologising for the post and explaining that he had deleted it from his page and had also asked Tunde Ednut to do the same. He posted a screenshot of his wife’s response to Ifeanyi’s apologies, in which she indicated that, while she appreciated his apology, he had defamed her character.

Sam added that a national security advisor, a Supreme Court Magistrate, and his wife’s legal counsel are on top of the situation and that they have found a few scapegoats to utilise in warning others to stay away.

He wrote: ‘’Trouble dey sleep, Yanga go wake am.

“Wetin’ him dey find? Palava him dey find.

“Cat dey sleep, rat go bite his tail.

“Wetin’ him dey find? Na Palava him go get…So contrary to many opinions as to why I haven’t come out to clear the air on the defamation of my wife’s character on this issue, you will all please bear with me as I needed some real good time to properly analyze all aspects of it and come up with a best solution to all of these bickerings that has been happening since I announced my wife to the world. This Harassment has continued from my engagement news which they began with false allegations that my wife was older than I am and was controlling my decisions like leaving The Johnsons, to blatant lies that she was called my class captain, and now for over a year these trolls have further bear false witness to the point where they question my wife’s unquestionable fidelity to me, and ultimately bullying my innocent son who they have planned to grow and meet these false allegations.

“This is the very reason why a lot of famous and prestigious people crave for private lives. It is because lately, quite a number of young people on social media (as we have observed from the comments and all) are mostly dysfunctional and insensitive youths with confidence in their false witness when they display their disrespect for others in societies where there is a huge lacuna of societal leadership.

“This clearly as in the case of @gossipbobo, who in sharing his misinformed opinion about our lives in public to the detriment of their mental health, relates to the almost impossible art of most Nigerians who can easily die from not “minding their own business”.

“Honestly, I’m hurt and for the sake of being a proper boy from the streets of Surulere, I know how to find justice there but for the same of my emotional maturity, I have found more decent and honourable ways to handle this lingering issue, from the various powers I know in the Judicial/security sector. As we speak a national security advisor, a Magistrate of the Supreme Court and my wife’s legal advisor are on top of the matter. Thankfully, we have found a few scapegoats to use in warning others to stay away.”
