The General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire & Miracles Ministries (MFM), Dr. D.K. Olukoya , has filed a N2 billion suit against Sahara Reporters Publisher Mr. Omoyele Sowore for defamation of character. In the suit filed before the High Court of Akwa Ibom State , Uyo, Sahara Reporters Incorporation and Objective Media Group Limited were listed as the 2nd and 3rd defendants.

The clergyman in the court papers, accused Sowore of consistently churning out publications that are defamatory to his person. Olukoya and his church are claiming N2 billion against the defendants for alleged aggravated libel and have asked the courty for order compelling Sowore and his media platforms to pull down and erase each of the offending posts from the internet forthwith.

They are also praying for an order directing the defendants to tender written apology and retraction in form and content acceptable to the claimants and published prominently in Sahara Reporters online news media, on Facebook and in at least three nationally circulating newspapers and two international magazines, including TIME International.

In addition, the clergyman is asking the court to issiue an order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendants by themselves, his agents, servants, privies or other persons howsoever called or described, from further making, publishing and/or disseminating libellous stories and statements against the claimants or any one of them.

In the court papers, the clergyman alleged that Sowore and Sahara Reporters on September 4th, 2018, made and posted a video recording of Sowore addressing a crowd of his purported political supporters on their respective Facebook pages under the heading “Breaking! Sowore Reveals Why MFM General Overseer Daniel Olukoya Is After Him, as He Arrives Lagos”. The video was published after the clergyman had filed a seperate suit against Sowore and Sahara reporters.

In the said video, Sowore was alleged to have falsely and maliciously said to have spoken and published against the the clergyman and his church the following words inter alia namely:

“On Olukoya, very important because this is the latest that happened. I have done reporting on many cabals and you know in this country there are religious cabals, political cabals, traditional cabals and family cabals so I touched all of them not only Olukoya. Remember the one that was sleeping with a prostitute in Canada… It was then that he then went and looked for a Judge in Uyo. Imagine a man of God that is on Lagos – Ibadan Expressway now going to look for a judge in a case that doesn’t even involve them. My suspicion is that they found a judge who is probably a member of their Church who said that he will teach Sowore a lesson. That is not going to happen…”

Lol..why sue sahara reporters unless you yourself have something to hide.The church these days has become an object of ridicule because of some of these men of God moving around with politicians when their focus should be the church and charity.

Why sue, Pastor Fire on the Mountain? Why not just call Holy Fire upon him like Prophet Elisha?

There's something moving about this.

There's something moving about this.

There's something moving about this.

This is serious.. These pastors no get chill these days. 2 billion?

He is a man of God,he should learn to forgive.if Jesus paid attention to those that said many evil and bad word against him,I think there would be so many court cases in the Bible.

It's a pity to hear church pastors taking people to court. Was Jesus ever in the court of law? These pastors are fraudulent. That was how two pastors in 4square took each other to court for leadership role

Sowore should put his mouth where it belongs and stop gossiping about others

Old news nao! we've heard it earlier....NEXT

Church is now a business venture, that is why I will never see those pastors as anything

hmmmmmm... waiting for Nwaamaikpe....i think he knows what to say

Baba sha wan hammer...

MADT PEOPLE

Fear media..they can make or mar you


MEANWHILE FOR CHEAP MTN SME DATA PLANS CHECK MY SIGNATURE

Two Greatest Akokites at each other's throats.The
University of Lagos Alumni Association should please wade in abeg. All we need is love and justice.I really don't like the arrogance in the tone of Sowore, he should "touch" with facts not unsavory innuendos. The church is in order for taking him to court so that it will not resort to self help.

What happened to your alter sir ( Man of God ) ? Be not conformed to things of this world.......

lol

Just fire in tongues and watch fire burn Sowore

I wish this guy will offend that port Harcourt pastor that nearly got kemi cured of her madness
