Tonto Dikeh's ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill serves estranged wife N500 million lawsuit

Tonto Dikeh's ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill has served estranged wife and Nollywood actress, Dikeh a N500 million defamation suit for making malicious comments about him on the media.

Dikeh has been issued a 14-day ultimatum to honour the suit or risk judgment given in her absence.

The case has been filed at the High Court, FCT, Abuja by Churchill and his organisation, Big Church Foundation.

According to the case filed by the 1st and 2nd Claimant (Dr. Churchill and Big Church Foundation respectively), ex-husband of the defendant, it maintained claims that the series of malicious and fallacious allegations, assertions and accusations through media campaigns and publications by Tonto Dikeh and her charity organization were defamatory, baseless and sponsored to tarnish and damage the image and political ambition of the claimant, as he might have told her his intentions to run for House of Representative in his constituency.

Churchill claimed that Dikeh’s interviews were aired, published and sponsored via broadcast channels, online media platforms, YouTube handles, notable print publications and even on her large 4 million followers page on Instagram, with a view to impugn his character and standing.

Churchill is claiming N500 million as damages from his ex-wife, as well demanded a published apology from Dikeh.
