Nigerian Singer, Asa in Court Over Lesbianism Case

I was lying down in bed yesterday, half conscious when I heard on the entertainment section of a particular radio station that Asa was in court for a Lesbianism case. I was like- WTF! It kind of shocked me cos I was just listening to very boring normal news about Nigeria, and then BAM! The Asa news came on.




 I'd care less about her sexual preference, I think she is super talented. I did a little research and found out that the suit was actually filed by Asa herself and not the other way round. Aparrently, she filed a N700 million suit against a lagos based magazine last year, who had a story in one of their issues that Asa was having a Lesbian affair with her manager, Janet Nwose.

The case before Justice Coker was to be heard when her star witness, Damilola Amolegbe was said to have declined being called as a witness, telling Asa’s lawyers from Abraham Chambers that she couldn’t be a witness in Asa’s matter.

Having granted the music star much indulgence in the matter, the trial Judge then ordered that the case be closed and called for written address of the two parties.

Meanwhile her manager Janet Nwose, who was alleged to be having an affair with Asa did not come up as a witness which has raised the eyebrows of legal experts.

It would be recalled that Asa and her manager, Janet Nwose had a suit against the publishers of a Lagos-based magazine, ‘News of the People’ sometime last year. They urged the court to declare that the statement and picture in the December 14-22 edition of the magazine, entitled “Lesbianism Tale Trails Asa and Manager” was defamatory.

Asa wants the court to declare that the allegation of lesbianism against her and Janet is false, illegal and a violation of their rights. (oodera.com)
