PROPHET Adegoke Jeremiah, also known as Billion Dollars Prophet, has sued Chef Dammy, whose real name is Damilola Adeparusi, for N20 million defamation.
According to media reports, in the lawsuit, Jeremiah claims that Adeparusi made defamatory statements about him on social media, alleging that Adeparusi posted a video on her Instagram page where she accused Jeremiah of being responsible for any harm that might befall her.
In a letter signed by his lawyers, Bisayo Sule & Co Legal Practitioners, and dated October 23, 2023, the Prophet demanded a retraction of the libellous statement on social media and two widely read national dailies and payment of a sum of N20 million for damages.
The letter partly read: “In view of the incalculable damage you have done to the good reputation of our client, we demand a retraction of the libellous statement on all the social media, particularly your Instagram page, and two (2) widely read national dailies.
“Additionally, we are demanding a sum of N20,000,000:00 (Twenty Million Naira Only) being damages for the act of defamation against our client.
“Take notice that you have seven (7) days from the date of service of this letter on you, the date of service, inclusive, to comply with our demand. Failure of which we shall not hesitate to seek a redress in the court of law.”
