Popular gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey has filed a petition with the Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun against four social media users who defamed him.
The singer, through his legal team, petitioned the police against the suspects for alleging that he fathered the son of fellow gospel singer Mercy Chinwo.
In a video circulating online, the lawyers urged the police to urgently address the petition against the four suspects – Okoronkwo Ejike, Kingsley Ibeh, Terrence Ekot, and DJ Spoiltkid.
This comes days after Mercy Chinwo and her husband, Pastor Blessed, shared first photos of their son months after his birth.
A while back, Mercy Chinwo and her husband, Pastor Blessed Uzochikwa, finally unveiled the face of their son.
The music minister took to her Instagram page to share lovely family photos of her husband and their adorable son, and expressed gratitude to God.
The photos appeared to be taken during the festive season in December 2023, as there was a Christmas tree in the background.
She captioned the photos, “Thank you JESUS 🙏🏼 You daily make all grace abound unto us❤😍”
The couple, who tied the knot in August 2022, announced the birth of their son in October 2023.
