Nathaniel Bassey, a famous gospel artist, has petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to investigate and charge four people with defamation.
Creebhills reported some days ago that several netizens claimed Mercy Chinwo’s child resembled Nathaniel Bassey.
This created a lot of controversy online, and the gospel musicians took legal action against some of these individuals.
On April 1, 2024, Nathaniel Bassey filed the petition with the IGP via the attorneys Peter Abraham, Uche Matthew, Gbenga Agunloye, and Anthony Abia.
Four social media users claimed last week that Bassey was the father of a popular gospel singer’s son; the claim went viral on X.
As a result, the 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.
