However, during her latest interview with Premium Times, the movie star clarified that the social media post aimed to promote her upcoming four-part series, ‘My Fairytale Wedding,’ and not an engagement announcement.

When asked if she anticipated having a real-life fairytale wedding someday, Ini Edo noted that marriage was no longer a priority for her but having a solid relationship.

She said, “I’m not crazy about marriage; I am crazy about having a solid relationship. I’m not hoping, and it’s not any of my prayer points.”

Recall that the thespian was previously married to a Nigerian-American businessman, Philip Ehiagwina. The couple got married in 2008 but divorced in 2014.

Meanwhile, Ini Edo has lost the ownership rights of the 2023 hit Netflix series, ‘Shanty Town’ to Nigerian filmmaker, Chinenye Nworah.

Nevo News recalls Ini and her production company, Minini Empire Productions Limited, MEP, had, in January 2024, filed a double intellectual property petition against Chinenye Nworah and her production company ‘Giant Creative Media Limited’, GCM, over trademark rights of the series, ‘Shanty Town’.

In the petition, the actress sought to claim ownership of the trademarks and copyrights linked with ‘Shanty Town.

However, Chinenye’s lawyer, Olisa Agbakoba Legal (OAL), in a statement on Friday, disclosed that the Nigerian Trademark Registry (NTR) and the Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC), responsible for trademarks and copyright regulation, respectively, have dismissed actress Ini Edo’s petition over the ownership of the hit Netflix series, ‘Shanty Town’ and ruled in favour of Chinenye.

The Trademark Registry rejected a petition filed by Ini Edo and MEP regarding trademarks ‘SCAR’ NG/TM/O/2023/121745 and ‘SHANTY TOWN’ NG/TM/O/2023/97482 on January 10, 2024, declaring the petition baseless and without merit, and confirming Nworah’s exclusive ownership of these trademarks.

In a separate ruling delivered on July 24, 2024, the NCC dismissed a petition by Ini Edo and MEP concerning the cancellation of two copyright certificates issued to Chinenye Nworah for the literary work “Shanty Town” (Certificate Number LW10177) and the audiovisual work “Shanty Town” (Certificate Number CF1448).

The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a lawsuit seeking to compel the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to reopen investigations into the death of late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Justice James Omotosho dismissed the case in a judgment delivered on Thursday, ruling that the organisation that filed the suit lacked the legal standing to bring the action.

Key Highlights of the Ruling:

  • The Applicant: The case was brought against the Inspector-General of Police, the NPF, and the Lagos State Commissioner of Police by the Registered Trustees of Break the Silence Foundation, which sought an order for a fresh investigation.

  • Lack of Evidence: Justice Omotosho stated that the foundation failed to provide the court with the report from the initial police investigation, making it impossible to establish if the police neglected to question specific individuals.

  • Speculative Claims: The judge ruled that the court cannot rely on speculation or unproven claims when deciding whether to grant an applicant’s reliefs, noting that the claims lacked sufficient evidence.

  • Warning to Legal Practitioners: Justice Omotosho criticized lawyers who grant media interviews or make social media posts regarding active court cases, warning that such actions risk affecting public perception and could invite contempt powers.

  • Final Verdict: The court ultimately threw out the suit because the applicant lacked legal standing and failed to support its claims with adequate evidence. Mohbad had previously passed away in Lagos on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27.
