Retract your false statements against Churchill and Rosy Meurer within 24 hours and apologize or we will invoke the full force of the law against you- Olakunle Churchill’s lawyers send ”Cease and Desist” letter to Tonto Dikeh The lawyers of businessman, Olakunle Churchill, have sent a Cease and Desist letter to actress Tonto Dikeh, demanding that she retracts all the false statements she has made against him and his wife, Rosy Meuerer, on social media and apologize within 24 hours otherwise they will invoke the full and compelling force of the law against her.
In the letter dated February 21, Churchill’s counsel, West Africa Solicitors, said Tonto had published falsehoods against Churchill and Rosy on her IG page. In the three-page letter, the lawyers stated that Tonto has ’deceitfully labeled” their client as a ‘’blackmailer, a fraudster, thief, irresponsible father, and a violent person’ without giving any evidence to back up the claim. The lawyers said that Tonto has repeatedly lied that Churchill ‘’blackmailed” her into paying for their wedding when she knows that there was never a wedding. According to the lawyers, Tonto’s claim that she spent N7 million for their wedding is false as the only event that took place was a parlor event when Tonto’s dowry was paid and the ceremony was attended by just four persons.
The lawyers also stated that Tonto peddled a false claim that she was friends with Rosy Meurer, Churchill’s current wife, and accused her of ‘’snatching him”. They said Tonto’s false claim has brought disrepute to Rosy and that Tonto made the false claim just to gain public pity and cheap popularity. They argued that Rosy was never Tonto’s friend and was never acquainted with her in any way prior to her wedding to Churchill. They also stated that Tonto has no proof to back up her claim that she and Rosy were friends.
The lawyers said these claims have caused Churchill public humiliation and are demanding she retracts and tenders an apology for all of them within 24 hours otherwise they will not hesitate to invoke the law against her.
