An Abuja bread maker, Maria Cadilo, has filed a N50 million lawsuit against a provisions store owner over a viral video in which the woman claimed a bread had remained unspoiled on her shelf for two months. The shop owner, who did not name the brand or show its logo, urged viewers to bake their own bread, suggesting commercial products were unhealthy. She said she was careful not to identify any company but acknowledged people in the comments tagged Cadilo's brand, which she did not delete. The bakery's Managing Director, Maria Cadilo, stated the video damaged her 20-year-old business, despite her products being approved by NAFDAC, SON, and other regulatory bodies. She claimed she tried to contact the woman for a discussion but was ignored and later blocked across all platforms. Cadilo said she only wanted to verify the bread in question and clarify the claims but was denied access. The shop owner revealed she received a legal letter demanding she take down the video, retract her statements, and pay N50 million in damages for losses incurred over three days. She said the bakery's representatives contacted her via social media and phone before sending the notice through a lawyer. Cadilo maintained her products are made to order and are fresh, rejecting allegations of using harmful preservatives.
