Nigeria Police Rearrest Former MFM Chorister, Ayotunde Richard, Over Alleged Cyberbullying, Libel Against Church Founder, Olukoya
The Nigerian police have again arrested Ayotunde Richard, a gospel singer and former member of Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries (MFM), over a petition from Davidson Adejuwon, who is a lawyer and reportedly an aide to the church founder, Dr Daniel Olukoya.
The lawyer accused Ayotunde Richard and others of sundry acts of cyberbullying and libelling Olukoya.
Davidson filed the petition as counsel for one Mrs Sanni, an aide to Olukoya reportedly saddled with the cleric’s social media concerns about Olukoya.
The petition was not filed on behalf of Olukoya.
Ayotunde Richard had filed a suit against the General Overseer of the church, Pastor Olukoya, over an alleged breach of his fundamental human rights.
Other respondents in the case are Davison Olaniran Adejuwon Esq; Superintendent of Police Tawose Ayoleyi Ajayi and the Nigeria Police Force.
Olukoya, Davidson, Ajayi and the Nigeria Police Force are the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Respondents respectively.
