Sarah Martins Threatens Legal Action Against Dispatch Rider

Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has issued a stern public warning to dispatch rider Opeyemi, accusing him of persistent harassment and sending unsolicited explicit content months after their initial encounter went viral. In a lengthy Instagram post and video shared on September 6, 2026, she stated that despite blocking him repeatedly, he has continued to reach out through more than 30 different phone numbers.

Actress Accuses Rider of Persistent Contact

Sarah Martins identified the rider as Opeyemi and said she has been receiving photographs, videos, and explicit material she never asked for. "Opeyemi, the dispatch rider, this is a final and very serious warning," she wrote, before detailing the full history of their interactions. "You have since continued contacting me through more than 30 different phone numbers, despite my repeatedly blocking you and making it clear that I do not want further communication."

The actress explained that after Opeyemi first sent her an unsolicited romantic message following a delivery, she reported his conduct to his employer and spoke about it publicly. Despite facing criticism for doing so, she said she chose to extend kindness to him, taking him out to lunch and going shopping with him. She also noted that a used motorcycle, donated by one of her followers as a result of her intervention in his situation, was passed on to him.

From Viral Moment to Legal Threat

The story dates back to earlier in 2026, when Opeyemi claimed he lost his job after professing his feelings for the actress. Sarah Martins publicly pushed back, sharing screenshots of their chats and questioning whether she owed him sympathy. A follow-up post clarified that he had not actually been sacked but only cautioned, and she went on to treat him to a luxury outing to show she held no ill will, while stressing she was not accepting his advances.

The situation took another turn when Sarah Martins disclosed that Opeyemi is married with a daughter. She said her frustration was not about being lied to directly, but about his willingness to publicly disrespect his wife and child by chasing another woman, calling it one of the reasons she would never "date low."

Evidence Preserved and Final Warning Issued

Sarah Martins made it clear that she is preserving all evidence, including phone numbers and messages, and warned him against deleting or altering any communications. "Respect my boundary or face the law!" she concluded. The actress also faced backlash earlier for a promotional video, where fans felt the recording dragged on and focused too much on her body. She had showcased her skincare products while offering old stock at giveaway prices after relocating to Lagos and buying a car.
