David Nnaji petitions Punch Newspaper for claiming he welcomed child with sidechick

Actor David Nnaji has filed a petition against Punch Newspaper for a publication they made about him which states that he welcomed a baby with another woman while his marriage was still intact.



Reacting to the publication, the actor said he welcomed his second child after his marriage with Jodie packed up in October, 2016, not while it was still intact.

Breaking the news of the petition, David Nnaji said on Instagram:

”On the 15th of July, PUNCH Newspaper (@punchnewspapers ) ascribed words unbecoming of a reasonable and sane human being to the very brief interview i granted them by phone, just to malign me for reasons best known to them.
As a result of their sad publication, some others, much like PUNCH helped to spread it.
It really doesn’t take much to cross check suspicious references or news before publication, knowing the possible implications.
Here is my public statement and reaction to that malicious publication.
They have since received my petition.

David Nnaji”

Read the words Punch Newspaper reported as his words in the interview they published last week.

“I already confirmed on Instagram that I just had a baby girl. I don’t want to talk much about the identity of the mother because it is my personal life and I don’t want to make it public.

I haven’t gotten married to another woman and if I will be doing that, I will rather keep it private. If you study my lifestyle, you will see that I don’t put my life out there. I don’t comment on things people say.

My marriage to Jodie is still intact but she is not the one I just had a baby with. I did not take permission from anyone to get married and I don’t need to explain anything to anybody. I don’t even bother to dissuade any rumour because I am not interested.”
