Tonto Dikeh’s lawyer, Festus Keyamo has issued a statement warning people to desist from watching a 15-second video released online from his client’s ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill’s camp, which shows the actress hitting her ex-husband.
Keyamo however, issued a statement that the video was edited and does not show when Churchill initiated the attack.
In the statement, the lawyer also threatened to sue any media house that publishes the edited version as against the edited full version which shows Churchill initiating an attack on his client.
The statement reads:
We act as solicitors to Miss Tonto Dikeh, a prominent Nollywood actress.
It has come to our knowledge that her ex-husband, Mr. Olakunle Churchill has perfected plans to release a short and edited video depicting and portraying our client as being involved in some domestic violence against him.
Our client wants all bloggers and/or journalists to request for the full version of the video showing the said domestic scene which started with a physical abuse of our client by her ex-husband, which earned her a swollen face. Her ex-husband only intends to release our client’s REACTION to the assault on her and not the assault itself. We shall be prepared to take legal action against any blogger/journalist that uses the edited version without insisting on or showing the full version.
