Popular Nigerian gospel singer, Nathaniel Bassey has petitioned the Inspector General of police, Kayode Egbetokun to investigate and charge four individuals for defamation.
Recall that after Mercy Chinwo revealed the face of her child, some individuals had alleged that Mercy Chinwo’s child had a striking resemblance with Nathaniel Bassey.
This created a lot of controversy online and the gospel musician had to take legal actions against some of these individuals.
On April 1, 2024, Nathaniel Bassey filed the petition with the IGP via his lawyers, Peter Abraham, Uche Matthew, Gbenga Agunloye, and Anthony Abia.
His attorneys implored the police to look into the petition against the four social media users—Okoronkwo Ejike, Kingsley Ibeh, Terrence Ekot, and Dj Spoiltkid—as soon as possible.
The petition partly read …
