Following a publication inside Icon magazine in March, accusing 2face Idibia of impregnating a top Lagos banker, the singer had since dragged the publication to court where he was vindicated.
The case was filed to court by Media/Entertainment Law Firm of L & A- Legal Consultants on behalf of 2Face, at the Ikeja High Court, asking the court to award their client the sum of N100 million, being damages for the libelous publication posted on the magazine’s online and print platforms.
However, an out of court settlement has been reached after which a public apology delivered and signed by the Managing editor read…
“We admit that we failed to verify the source, or contact your team (960 Music Group) for a response before printing the fabricated story.”
“We have since discovered the story was false and regret the embarrassment it has caused you and your family.”
“We regret the indiscretion, and hereby apologise sincerely for our errors as our reporter was completely misinformed. We hope you would accept our apology and forgive us.”
