Nollywood actor Frederick Leonard has officially filed a defamation lawsuit against Stanley Ontop, a Nigerian filmmaker, actor, and social media personality, in a case that is now capturing the attention of fans and industry insiders alike. Leonard took to Instagram to announce the legal action, sharing not only the news but also a copy of the official lawsuit notice.
His post underscores the seriousness of the matter and makes it clear that he intends to pursue the case to the fullest extent of the law.
In the Instagram post, Leonard directly addressed Ontop with a firm statement:
“MR. STANLEY CHIBUEZE AJEMBA A.K.A. STANLEY ON TOP… YOU HAVE BEEN SERVED! THE LAW WILL TAKE ITS COURSE TO THE FULL EXTENT. YOU FIRST, OTHERS WILL FOLLOW… IF YOU CLAIM OR ALLEGE, YOU MUST PROVE WITH EVIDENCE, I’M COMING FOR YOU.”
According to the lawsuit, Ontop allegedly made statements that have harmed Leonard’s reputation and impacted his career opportunities, resulting in lost acting jobs and endorsement deals. Leonard claims the remarks have caused professional setbacks and financial losses, prompting him to seek legal redress.
This action marks a significant escalation in the ongoing public dispute between the two Nollywood personalities, which has largely unfolded on social media over the past several months. Fans have closely followed their exchanges, and Leonard’s decision to move into the legal sphere signals his intent to hold Ontop accountable for the alleged defamation.
The case now transitions from online arguments and social media debates into the courtroom, where both parties will have the opportunity to present evidence and defend their positions. The outcome is expected to set a precedent in Nollywood regarding accountability and responsible public statements, drawing keen interest from both industry observers and the general public.
