Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh has been sued by her
ex-husband Olakunle Churchill over her explosive interview in May 2019.
Olakunle Churchill
who referenced the three-part YouTube series titled ‘The Evidence’ which was
shared in May 2019, said his ex-wife accused him of being into cyber fraud
popularly known as Yahoo Yahoo and also alleged that she caught him clad in a
red cloth, surrounded by red candles with a laptop placed on his lap.
He also sought for
legal redress against Tonto Dikeh over claim of his father being a gardener as
she dispelled speculation of him being related to former President Olusegun
Obasanjo.
In the lawsuit notice
which has him as the 1st claimant and Big Church Foundation as the second
claimant, Churchill stated that the allegations are baseless and sponsored to
tarnish and damage his image and political ambition. He hinted on telling Tonto
Dikeh about his intention to run for the House of Representatives in his
constituency.
It read in parts;
“The series of malicious and fallacious
allegations, assertions and accusations through media campaigns and
publications by Tonto Dikeh and her charity group was defamatory.”
In the court summon which has gone viral, the actress was
asked to appear for trial 14 days from December 10, 2019, as the court may
proceed therein with judgment even in her absence.
The case is expected to come up on Thursday February
20. See the court papers below;
