UPDATE:

Asa did not show up in court as she’s away in France. She was represented by her Lawyer who told the court she’s ‘indisposed’. The publisher of News of the People Loye Hamzat was personally in court.

Apparently, the musician is suing a Lagos-based celebrity magazine  ‘News of the People’ for a published article alleging she’s a lesbian. We’re told this case has been on for sometime, and is now nearing conclusion. The case has been adjourned till April 26, 2012 when Asa is expected to be present in court. Full story to follow…
