Shop Owner Faces ₦50M Lawsuit over Viral Video of Two-Month-Old Bread
A Lagos provisions store owner is battling a ₦50 million defamation suit after her video of a sliced loaf that stayed fresh for over two months went viral. In the clip, she never named the maker but showed the bread free of mold and normal in smell. The bakery later identified itself and sent her a direct message ordering her to take it down. When she refused, the company’s lawyers served court papers claiming reputational damage and lost sales. The Bon Bread CEO has since released a statement defending product safety and explaining why legal action was necessary. The dispute has stirred national debate on the shelf life of commercial bread, food additives, and the rights of consumers versus businesses when content spreads online.
