Lagos court awards ₦5m damages against Oxlade over leaked sex tape.
A Lagos High Court has awarded ₦5million 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 ₦20million 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.

Carlo hails Benzema and defends decision to bench Modric.
Carlo Ancelotti saluted "complete" Karim Benzema after the Real Madrid captain became the club's second-highest LaLiga scorer of all time.
The striker struck twice from the penalty spot in Wednesday's commanding 4-0 win over bottom side Elche, taking his Spanish top-flight tally for the club to 230 goals – surpassing Raul's 228 – with only Cristiano Ronaldo netting more on 311.
Marco Asensio and Luka Modric were also on target as Ancelotti's side closed the gap on league leaders Barcelona to eight points.
And the Italian paid tribute to his in-form number nine, who has now been directly involved in 15 goals in his last 14 appearances for Madrid (12 goals, three assists).
"Karim is not just a striker," the Italian said. "He is very complete, he combines well – today especially with Rodrygo. He is always ready in the area and helps us a lot in possession.
"His career is fantastic and hopefully he can continue. Real Madrid wants him at this level.
Every game is good to gain confidence. When you win 3-0 and relax, there can be problems and I don't want it. The moment is good. We must maintain this dynamic of concentration and commitment."
Ancelotti also defended his decision to bench Modric, who completed the rout with a wonderful strike 10 minutes from time, as Dani Ceballos, Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde comprised Madrid's three-man midfield.
The head coach highlighted the importance of rotation with his squad aiming to chase down Barca, while a blockbuster Champions League last-16 tie with Liverpool is also on the horizon.
"Modric is untouchable for me and for everyone. Everyone is important, and I have total confidence in everyone," Ancelotti said. "I have to rotate because it's a very demanding season.
"The statistics say that [Toni] Kroos scored against [Athletic] Bilbao when coming off the bench [in last month's 2-0 win] and that, today, Modric has scored coming off the bench. From there, they can contribute goals."

Enough is Enough — Ugandan man with 12 wives, 102 children, and 578 grandchildren says, as he reveals he’s struggling.
Ugandan man, Musa Hasahya Kasera, who married 12 wives and has 102 children, 578 grandchildren, has finally said enough is enough because he cannot afford to feed and clothe them all.
"At first it was a joke, but now this has its problems," the 68-year-old told AFP.
“With my health failing and merely two acres of land for such a huge family, two of my wives left because I could not afford the basics like food, education, clothing."
Hasahya, who is currently unemployed but has become something of a tourist attraction in his village, said his wives now take birth control to stop the family expanding further. “My wives are on contraceptives but I am not. I don't expect to have more children because I have learnt from my irresponsible act of producing so many children that I can't look after."
