Football star Victor Wanyama has taken legal action against blogger Arthur Mandela alias Xtiandela and socialite Shalika over what he termed as defamation of his character.
A statement issued by Wanyama on Tuesday dismissed claims by the socialite, who had claimed having had sexual relations with the footballer and other celebrities.
Wanyama termed the claims by the socialite as false and fabricated adding that he had never met either Xtiandela or Shakila before.
"I wish to distance myself completely from the contents of this defamatory video. The allegations made therein are a total fabrication and a figment of the maker's imagination at best," the Montreal Impact player stated.
