**Nollywood Actress, Social Media Influencer, Others to Know Fate on April 16** A High Court in Ikeja has fixed April 16 to deliver its ruling in a case filed by renowned Nigerian pastor, Dr Chris Okafor, against Nollywood actress Doris Ogala, popular social media influencer Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, and Kelvin Emmanuel. The court case, marked ID/14399GCMW/2026, is an interesting tale of alleged defamation, blackmail, and extortion. Dr Okafor, the claimant, is seeking justice against the defendants, who he claims have been spreading malicious and false information about him on social media. The case came up for hearing before Justice Akintunde Savage, who was informed by Okafor's counsel, Ife Ajayi, that all the defendants had been served with the court's summons. However, the first defendant's counsel, Nzeakor Atulomah, raised a preliminary objection, citing a technicality in the way the originating processes were filed. According to Atulomah, the writ of summons did not comply with Section 97 of the Sheriff and Civil Process Act, which he described as mandatory. He argued that the service of the originating processes on the first defendant was effected outside the jurisdiction of the court, rendering it incompetent. Okafor's counsel, Ajayi, countered that the claimant had filed a proper writ of summons in compliance with the law and sought the court's leave to amend the filed processes. After hearing arguments from both sides, Justice Savage adjourned the matter to April 16 for ruling on the preliminary objections. This case has significant implications for the entertainment industry and social media influencers in Nigeria. If the court rules in favor of Okafor, it could have far-reaching consequences for those who engage in online harassment and defamation. On the other hand, if the court strikes out the suit, it could set a precedent for those who feel they have been wronged online to seek justice in the courts. The case has already taken an interesting turn, with the court granting an interim order restraining the defendants from further mentioning or referring to Okafor, his church, or ministry on any platform pending the determination of the substantive suit. The court also barred them from releasing alleged private materials, including chats, conversations, texts, pictures, images, or videos relating to the claimant.
