Sophia Momodu, the businesswoman and media personality, has threatened to sue actress Caroline Hutchings, popularly known as Caroline Danjuma, for N10 billion over an alleged defamatory Snapchat post.





The dispute started after Hutchings shared a Snapchat post on July 3. In the post, she accused an unnamed woman of having an affair with her former partner while they were still together.
“Funny how I pretend I am stupid, but I know the girl I defended on national TV was sleeping with my man while I was with him, now my ex. She was in clubs with her American friends, twerking on him. I act like I don’t see it, but I see it all,” the post reads in part.
“Posting his cars and sh*t. Now I know why your baby daddy didn’t choose you. You are dirt; you sleep with your friend’s man. You will pretend you are like us, but you sleep with your friend’s man. Yet you post pictures like you are good.”
Although Hutchings did not mention any name, the post quickly sparked speculation online. Many social media users believed she was referring to Momodu, who has a child with singer Davido.
Momodu demands an apology and compensation.
In a pre-action notice dated July 14, 2026, Momodu accused Hutchings of making a post that many people linked to her.
Her lawyers said blogs and social media platforms later republished the post. They argued that the development exposed her to cyberbullying, ridicule and public backlash.
According to the notice, Momodu contacted Hutchings privately on July 3 and asked if the post referred to her. However, Hutchings allegedly did not respond or issue a clarification.
Momodu’s legal team said that the failure to respond strengthened the public belief that the post targeted their client. They added that the situation harmed her reputation and emotional well-being.
48-hour ultimatum
The lawyers gave Hutchings 48 hours to meet several demands.
“Publish an unequivocal retraction and an unreserved public apology on your Snapchat account and every other social media platform under your control, expressly stating that the publication complained of was not directed at, nor intended to refer to, our client,” the letter reads in part.
The legal team also asked Hutchings to publish the apology in two national newspapers. They demanded compensation and a written undertaking that she would avoid making similar statements in the future.
The notice warned that failure to comply would lead to legal action. Momodu’s lawyers said they would seek N10 billion in damages and N50 million in legal costs.
