The legal fallout between former Big Brother Naija couple Bella Okagbue and Sheggz has escalated beyond social media, with reports indicating that Bella's lawyers have issued Sheggz a pre-action notice. The notice reportedly includes allegations of breach of promise to marry and domestic abuse, alongside demands for repayment of funds allegedly borrowed during their relationship.
Alleged Debt and Legal Demands
Bella's legal team is reportedly pursuing the recovery of money allegedly borrowed by Sheggz while the couple was together. Reports suggest the amount exceeds £10,000 and ₦19 million combined. The lawyers have formally requested that Sheggz address the outstanding debt alongside the other allegations connected to their time as a couple.
The pre-action notice, which has been shared online, outlines an extensive list of claims, sparking widespread debate across social media platforms. Many users are questioning whether Bella can provide sufficient evidence to support her claims, particularly regarding the breach of promise to marry.
Social Media Reactions
Legit.ng compiled comments from social media users reacting to the reported legal move. User @lala_george22 stated: "Hahahaha Omo Mehn!!! I didn’t know we could sue for breaching to marry us ooo Anyways we learn everyday."
Another user, @memora_akondo, noted: "Sometime ago there were posts circulating about how you can sue a girl for collecting your money for transport fare and not showing up. I wonder why people are shocked about this breach of promise to marry."
@reminee_oreo shared: "Some people here are so quick to respond without taking the time to read everything. She mentioned quite an extensive list here, including domestic violence. From everything she shared, it’s clear she really endured a lot. Thank God she didn’t marry him."
Background and Previous Reports
Legit.ng earlier reported that leaked WhatsApp chats showed Bella confronting Sheggz over four years without a marriage proposal, demanding he let her go. Bella's mother, furious at the situation, threatened to show Sheggz her wrath and cursed him with no peace or fulfilment. Sheggz broke his silence on the breakup, revealing he had purchased a ring, but the relationship ended in January 2026.
The reported legal action marks a significant development in the public dispute, with the outcome depending on the evidence Bella can present. The case has drawn attention to the legal implications of promise-to-marry claims in Nigeria, and further updates are expected as the situation unfolds.
