This time around, it is gathered that the feud is between Linda Ikeji and a Lagos based lawyer, Olumide Babalola who charged the celebrity gossip blogger before the Lagos High court for the use of unauthorised and offensive picture of the lawyer on her blog.
It was also gathered that the lawyer who just returned from US where he was presented with an award for quality and excellence in business in recognition of his varing public interest litigations had earlier written to Ikeji to desist from further publication, but the blogger allegedly turned deaf year.

Oshodi, the lawyer sued the blogger for damages in the sum of N50million for the unathorised use of his picture on her blog for crime related stories.

However, the hearing of the case is set to hold on September 2016 but pending the time the justice in charge of the case, Justice O.H.
