Popular Nigerian pastor, Helen Ukpabio, has demanded N200bn damages from singer Bloody Civilian for allegedly defaming her.
This is coming after the singer accused Ukpabio, who is the founder of Liberty Gospel Church of “literally making people burn their children alive.”
Bloody Civilian on Friday made the comment on a post celebrating the pastor’s 60th birthday on X.
Bloody Civilian also shared a YouTube documentary where Ukpabio’s methods and ideology were criticised.
Reacting to the singer’s comments, Ukpabio’s daughter, Imabong, gave the singer 5 hours to delete the post or face legal action.
However, speaking in a letter from her legal representative, Ukpabio described the accusation as “reckless, satanic, and libellous.”
While demanding N200 billion as damages for distress, trauma, pain and anguish, she also asked Bloody Civilian to tender a public apology.
Responding to the development on her X handle, Blood Civilian made light of the letter by teasing that she is offering other services like comedy to afford the damages.
She wrote, “Guys, they just sued me for 200 billion naira. This December I will be adding the following to my services: standup comedy, weddings and settling disputes.”
