Toke Makinwa Dispels Rumour Of Dating Businessman Aliyu Abubakar

 Media personality Toke Makinwa has denied rumours that she is dating and suing Alhaji Aliyu Abubakar, an Abuja-based business entrepreneur, for unfulfilled promises.

Speaking through her legal team, the socialite claimed she had never met Abubakar.

Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika SAN, in a letter to the businessman, encouraged him to take action against fraudulent web platforms saying that his client had no business dealings with them.

Part of the letter reads: “My client, Toke Makinwa is surprised to receive your letter in the above caption dated January 1, 2022, even after she had, on an earlier telephone call on the same issue, told Mr. Feml Falana, SAN that she has never heard of your client’s name or his existence as a human being before his phone call.

”Perhaps you will consider redirecting your demand letter to the mischievous characters (that is, the online publishers) who, hiding under the anonymity of the internet and obviously aiming to exploit my client’s name and image to attract traffic to their worthless websites, authored and published the fictional association of your client with her, which speaking frankly, demeans her self worth as a woman and insults her psyche as a human being (as may have been the further motive of the fabricators and purveyors)."

Aliyu Abubakar has instructed his attorneys to acknowledge receipt of the letter, according to a statement signed by his media assistant Kadiri Joseph.

On January 1, the entrepreneur threatened Toke with a lawsuit over bogus charges. Aliyu was accused of dating her and making false promises to her by the TV host.

According to sources, the role interpreter filed a complaint against the businessman as a result of the claimed fraudulent promises.

Aliyu, on the other hand, refuted the charge. He also handed Toke 48 hours to recant "the bogus allegation" or face a defamation action worth N50 billion.
