Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh through her legal team has written to the Inspector General of Police to investigate her ex-lover Prince Kpokpogri over allegations of extortion, blackmail, threat to life and other charges.
In a letter dated September 10, the team asked the office of the Nigerian Police to investigate in detail, the charges of criminal defamation, extortion, hacking, cyberstalking, obtaining by force pretenses and threat to life.
Part of the letter read: “Our client has reasons to believe that Kpokpogri Joesph had planted a closed-circuit television camera (CCTV) at private areas of his residence and staged-managed those visits with the aim of blackmailing our client. She was surprised when sometime in August the said Joseph started demanding for the sum of five million naira from her and threatened to expose her nude pictures and other such document relating to her if refuses to pay.
“To actualize this demand, the said Kpokpgri started sending messages, documents and files containing sensitive information and materials relating to our clients to her phone while releasing some to the public. Our client believes that Joesph hacked her phone and illegally obtained private conversations she had with a third party which he, Joesph Kppkpogri then caused to be released to the public on or about the 6th day of September 2021.
“Our clients have been receiving series of threats phone calls which she believes are being orchestrated by the said Kpokpogri. On or about the 7th day of September 2021, our client received a phone call from this line 09038727436 which threatened her that if she writes anything against the said Kpokpgri, they will kill her; that they know where her son is schooling and every other detail about her.
“By reason of the above, we urge you to use your good office to cause a detailed investigation into the above facts with a view to bringing Joseph Kpokpgri to book.”
