The letter reads in part:

"In the referenced broadcast/publication, you and your fellow anchor persons using TVC's platform falsely alleged that our client, in order to chase clout and publicity, granted an interview where he claimed, without being asked, that he had dated Genevieve Nnaji. 
"The central theme of this wicked publication was to the effect that our client in a previous interview, had said that he dated and had a serious relationship with Genevieve Nnaji. According to the publication, he made this statement without any cause and without any question put to him as to whether he dated Genevieve Nnaji."

The letter further revealed that the veteran actor is demanding a public apology to be broadcast on their station and published in no fewer than three national dailies, in addition to N500m for monetary damages.
