Nollywood Actor Stanley Ontop Arrested for Defamation
On January 28, 2026, Nollywood actor Stanley Ontop, also known as Ajemba Stanlei Chibuez, was arrested by the Delta State Police Command within the premises of Denni Osadeb University in Asaba, Delta State. The arrest was made without prior invitation, raising questions about the school's authority to allow police intervention.
Ontop announced the incident via an Instagram story on Friday, expressing concern over the circumstances of his arrest. He is accused by a colleague, Leonard, of making repeated statements that allegedly damaged Leonard's reputation without provocation.
Leonard claims that these actions have deliberately harmed his professional life and public image. Uch Okoro, Leonard's lawyer, is involved in the case, which highlights ongoing tensions within the Nollywood industry regarding reputational harm and legal accountability.
