OBOY SEE WAR BETWEEN MOUNTAIN OF FIRE CHURCH AND SAHARA REPORTERS

Publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore has reacted to the  N10 billion libel suit filed against him, the Sahara Reporters Incorporated and the Incorporated Trustees of Sahara Media Foundation by the General Overseer, Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry, Dr Daniel Olukoya for their failure to desist from publishing false and malicious articles against him and his church, MFM, since 2013.

In his reaction to the lawsuit, Sowore said there's nothing to worry about saying, 'since I rejected a meeting with Olukoya, he has gone bunkers threatening brimstone and fire'.

See his full statement below...

Earlier this Year This Same "Pastor" And GO Olukoya Sent A UNILAG Alumni Official, Aaron Akinloye To Ask For A Meeting Between Him, The New Vice Chancellor Of UNILAG, Prof. Toyin Ogundipe And Myself, Aaron Claimed He (Olukoya) Was Doing Wonders For UNILAG And Wanted Me To Stop SaharaReporters From Negative Reporting Against Pastor Olukoya, I Refused!

I Told Aaron I am Only Interested In Meeting Prof. Ogundipe To Discuss The Unjust Rustication Of Femi Adeyeye (A Student Activist Who Was Rusticated For Two Years Over His Criticisms Of The UNILAG Senate On Facebook)

Since I Rejected A Meeting With Olukoya, The GO has Gone Bunkers Threatening Brimstone And Fire. I Am Not Surprised His Forum-Shopped To Uyo To Find A Judge Willing To Do His Bidding (Maybe).

However, No One Should Be Worried, These Fakes Will Meet Their Waterloo Someday Soon In A New Nigeria.

They Will Gang Up Left, Right And Center But Nothing Can Stop An Idea Whose Time Has Come!

The General Overseer, Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry, Dr Daniel Olukoya, has filed a N10 billion libel suit against the Publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, Sahara Reporters Incorporated and the Incorporated Trustees of Sahara Media Foundation, demanding N10bn in damages for their failure to desist from publishing false and malicious articles against him and his church, MFM, since 2013.

In the court papers filed before the Akwa Ibom state High court in Uyo, the senior pastor of MFM said several appeals made by him and his church for Sowore and his news platform to desist from publishing false malicious reports against them had fallen on deaf ears as the news platform has continued in its publications against his church.

In the court papers, Olukoya said he had earlier demanded that Omoyele and Sahara Reporters pull down all offending stories against him and his church within seven days but they refused. He said having failed to take advantage of the seven days he gave them, he had no other option but to sue them.

The Incorporated Trustees of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries was listed as the first claimant while Olukoya was the second claimant in the suit marked HU/250/2018.

Joined as defendants were Sowore, Incorporated Trustees of Sahara Media Foundation and Sahara Reporters.

Apart from the N10bn damages, the clergyman and his church has asked the court to order the defendants to pull down and erase each of the offending stories from the Internet forthwith, tender a written apology and retraction which must be published prominently in their online news report and in at least three nationally circulating newspapers and two international magazines, including TIME International.
