Monday, March, 16 2026 - Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, has been sued for conducting deliverance on a girl in a school premises.
The popular actress was slammed with a N200 million lawsuit
at a Federal Capital Territory, FCT, High Court by human rights lawyer,
Ikechukwu Obasi.
Obasi, who filed the suit on behalf of the Rivers State-born
Junior Secondary School, JSS 1 student, emphasized that the teenage girl was
subjected to what he tagged as a harmful religious ritual which the footage was
later shared online.
He further noted that the circulation of the clip without
the girl’s consent, violated her privacy rights “under Section 37 of the 1999
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Child Rights Act 2003”.
While demanding N200 million for damages, public apology and
removal of the footage from all social media platforms, Obasi also urged the
court to declare the act as violation of the girl’s constitutional right to
dignity and personal privacy.
Tonto Dikeh shared a video of her carrying out a spiritual
deliverance on a schoolgirl during her visit to a secondary school in Durumi II,
Abuja.
