In addition, he is demanding special, aggravated, and exemplary damages, arguing that the videos were widely shared on both local and international media platforms, which worsened the harm to his reputation.

The plaintiff is further requesting the court to place a perpetual injunction on Queen Emma to stop her from making or publishing similar statements about him.

He wants the court to order her to issue an apology using the same platforms where the videos were posted.

According to the writ, the apology should be given equal prominence and must remain permanently accessible on her social media pages.

Roman Fada is also asking the court to compel the defendant to retract the statements and remove all alleged defamatory videos from the internet.

Queen Emma is expected to enter an appearance within eight days after being served.
