A Magistrate Court sitting in Wuse Zone 6, FCT, has issued a Criminal Summons against Okoronkwo Ejike, Kingsley Ibeh, DJ Spoiltkid, Terrence Ekot, and Samuel Agozie, for alleged defamation of popular gospel singer Mercy Chinwo.
The five people were summoned by the court’s registrar, Emmanuel Iyanna, to appear in court on April 23 after they alleged that Nathaniel Bassey is the father of Chinwo’s son.
This happened after Chinwo’s husband, Pastor Blessed Uzochikwa, filed a direct criminal complaint through his attorneys, led by Pelumi Olajengbesi, Esq., accusing the five of criminal defamation.
According to the complaint filed by Uzochikwa, intentional dissemination of harmful false information, cyberbullying, and cyberstalking were the means used to carry out the claimed acts of criminal defamation.
This came after Nathaniel Bassey also filed a petition before the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to request investigation and prosecution of four other people for allegedly engaging in criminal defamation and cyberstalking against him.
