Nollywood veteran Clem Ohameze has taken decisive legal action against a blogger who falsely claimed he suffered a stroke and was abandoned by his children. The actor, visibly emotional in a video response, denied the allegations and expressed outrage over the damage the misinformation caused to his reputation and family.
The controversial post, which circulated widely on social media, alleged that Ohameze had been battling health issues for over two decades and was being cared for solely by his daughter. Ohameze refuted the claims, stating that he never granted any interview making such statements and clarified that he does not have three sons, as the blogger suggested.
In response to the defamation, Ohameze reported the matter to the police and confirmed that the Department of State Services (DSS) has also been notified. He described the incident as a clear case of cybercrime and warned that he would not tolerate attempts to tarnish his image for online clout.
The actor emphasized the emotional toll the false report had taken on him and his family, especially his daughter, who was deeply affected by the rumors. He urged content creators to act responsibly and avoid spreading falsehoods for engagement.
This incident underscores the growing concern over online misinformation and the need for accountability in digital spaces. Ohameze’s decision to pursue legal action sends a strong message about the consequences of reckless content creation and the importance of protecting personal integrity.
