A Lagos High Court has awarded N5million damages against singer Ikuforijimi Olaitan Abdulrahman alias Oxlade over a leaked sex tape with a woman on Snapchat.

In a judgement dated January 24, 2023, Justice Oresanya described the action of the singer, in secretly recording an explicit sex with a woman and thereafter leaking it online as “despicable, horrendous, distasteful & classless.”

It would be recalled that the sex tape of the singer had surfaced online in February 2022, without the knowledge and consent of the woman we involved in the video. The leaked video sparked public outrage & forced Oxlade to tender an apology to his fans and to the woman in the video.

The woman, John Blessing had filed a suit before the court on March 15, 2022 seeking N20million damages & 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.
