Popular Ghanaian socialite, Shugatiti has filed a lawsuit against Reverend Frank Gogo and two other people over alleged defamation, IGBERETV reports.
While appearing on a news channel, Reverend Gogo alleged that the socialite is a “mamiwata” (mermaid) sent to destroy men. The cleric claimed that Shugatiti who owns a restaurant is enticing people to purchase her cuisine by using extraterrestrial powers.
Speaking during an interview on Oman Channel, Reverend Gogo said;
“She is possessed by a marine spirit and all those who visit her restaurant will end up being possessed. She is a queen in the realms of the spirit. Anyone who has eaten in her restaurant and is a woman has been possessed.
“She has been sent by the devil to destroy. She can possess women who visit her restaurant merely by talking to you or having an encounter with you…all those who visit her restaurant should be very careful.”
Consequently, Shugatiti filed a lawsuit against the cleric. Taking to her Instagram handle, she stated that she is prepared to face the man of God in court if he could back up the claims.
She shared photos of the court summon with the caption;
“Members of Frank Gogo (Ekatso) church inform your pastor to meet me in court to prove that I’m a demon of the sea with an evidence of entering the sea.”
In the court document, it was stated that Gogo alleged that the “plaintiff is a demon-possessed person of questionable character and means and hence it is dangerous for ordinary right-thinking members of society to be associated, acquainted or have any contact whatsoever with the dentist.”
Shugatiti is asking the court to declare that the words uttered by defendants which was published on 16th April on YouTube via OMAN Channel is defamatory. She is also seeking general damages for defamation of character.
