#BBNaija: Khafi's team threatens legal action against Sun UK newspaper

Big Brother Naija: Pepper Dem housemate, [b]Khafi[/b]'s management has said their team was not contacted by media house, Sun UK for her own side of the story before they published such a report that can be injurious to her personality. See report here

The management is now demanding a retraction of the story and an apology within 48 hours.

Read their statement below,

ATTENTION! ATTENTION!! ATTENTION!!! The attention of Khafi's management has been drawn to a publication by The Sun UK of Tuesday, August 13, 2019, titled "LOIN OF DUTY Met Police 'poster girl' faces sack for 'having sex' on Nigerian Big Brother after being told not to take part". This brazenly sensational and defamatory outburst by The Sun UK is written in poor taste without considering the ethics of journalism which seeks balance and objectivity.

At NO time did The Sun UK send a mail of inquiry to Khafi's official email which is blasted across her social media platforms under active management to confirm or refute the claims in the publication.Khafi's side of the story is deliberately and conveniently omitted to sell a pre-conceived narrative while responses from "outraged colleagues" and "other papers" riddle the publication.This comes from a repressive culture of shaming and characterizing women for their sexual decisions and life choices.

We find The Sun UK's publication repulsive and damaging to the image and livelihood of our client.Khafi is a proud black female police officer who prides herself in her work and has dedicated her youthful years protecting and serving with her many skills which include the ability to speak at least five international languages.

We demand an immediate retraction of the publication by The Sun UK and a public apology to our client Khafilat Kareem within the next 48 hours.

Legal options are also being considered at this time.

Thank you.
