Businesswoman and media personality Sophia Momodu has initiated legal proceedings against actress and reality television star Caroline Hutchings, popularly known as Caroline Danjuma, over an alleged defamatory publication on Snapchat, demanding a public apology, compensation and N10 billion in damages.
The pre-action notice, which surfaced on social media, dated 14 July 2026 and issued by Ahonaruogho, Ahonaruogho & Co. (Paradise Law Firm), was signed by Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Prince (Dr.) Richard Oma Ahonaruogho, on behalf of Ms Momodu.
According to the four-page memorandum, Ms Momodu, the mother of Afrobeat singer Davido’s first child, contends that members of the public widely interpreted a Snapchat post published by Ms Hutchings as referring to her, despite not mentioning her by name, thereby exposing her to public ridicule, cyberbullying and reputational damage.
The disputed post
The controversy arose after Ms Hutchings, a Nollywood actress and former cast member of The Real Housewives of Lagos, shared a series of posts on Snapchat on 3 July, alleging that a woman she had publicly defended had secretly been involved with her former partner while they were together.
