Gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey asks IGP to investigate and prosecute four persons who accused him of fathering Mercy Chinwo’s child
Gospel singer, Nathaniel Bassey, has petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to investigate and prosecute four persons who he accused of criminal def@mation and cyberstalking.
The singer submitted the petition to the IGP on April 1, 2024, through his lawyers, Channels Television reports.
Last week, four social media users alleged that Bassey fathered the son of fellow popular gospel singer, an allegation that went viral on X.
The lawyers, therefore, urged the police authorities to urgently treat the petition against the four social media users, identified in the petition as Okoronkwo Ejike, Kingsley Ibeh, Terrence Ekot and Dj Spoiltkid.
“Our client is a gospel music minister whose songs and ministrations have impacted the lives of so many from different walks of life across the globe.
On Friday, the 29th day of March 2024, Mercy Chinwo Blessed another popular gospel music minister, and her husband posted pictures of their son and themselves on different social media platforms.
However, our client was disheartened, saddened, and grossly disturbed to find that the above-mentioned suspects, as mischief makers with a criminal intent to d£§troy the image and character of our client, had made different social media posts of defamatory matter, calling our client ‘the father of minister Mercy Chinwo Blessed’s son,’ a woman who is married to another man.
These nefarious acts of these suspects, if not immediately dealt with, will continue to d£§troy our client’s image, injure his reputation, a§§a§§inate his character, and cast aspersion on the good name built by our client over the years.
Consequently, we urge you to use your good offices to, in the interest of justice, investigate this matter, arrest, and bring the suspect to justice, which will serve as a deterrent to others,” the petition reads in part.
