No date has been fixed for the hearing of the case
In the affidavit in support of the Originating Motion on Notice, the Plaintiff deposed that he decided to rushed to court to have his fundamental rights protected because they are being threatened.
He said in the affidavit:
“That I had a romantic relationship with Miss Tonto Dikeh being the 2nd Respondent herein for about three months beginning from 3rd June, 2021 and the relationship ended on or about 19th August, 2021.
”That the 2nd Respondent has continuously issued oral threats against me that she is going to use all her connections and contacts to bring me down to nothing simply because I separated from her.
”That I am aware that the 2nd Respondent engaged certain strange heavily built men with dark shades who started tailing my movement around town shortly after 19th August, 2021 when I ended the romantic relationship with the 2nd Respondent.
”That I thereafter became worried that the 2nd Respondent could execute her threats, considering her wide popularity and connection in the Nigerian film industry.
”That at all times material to our romantic relationship the 2nd Respondent always requested and I allowed her to use my Black Colour Lexus SUV LX570 with Registration Number – ABJ 04 JN and Chasis Number – JTJHY7AZ7H4237876. Copies of vehicle documents are attached as EXHIBIT D.
”That upon my return from a trip to Asaba, Delta State around 20th August, 2021 I discovered that the 2nd Respondent had forcefully taken my said Black Colour Lexus SUV LX570 with Registration Number – ABJ 04 JN and Chasis Number – JTJHY7AZ7H4237876 to her residence being House 3A, No. 2, Ismaila Mamman Close, Katampe Extension, FCT-Abuja. Picture of the vehicle is attached as EXHIBIT E.
”That all my efforts to recover the said vehicle from the 2nd Respondent proved abortive as she gave a standing instruction to the security men at her residence not to allow me or my driver access to her residence to recover the vehicle.
”That during my birthday celebration which took place on 27th June, 2021 the 2nd Respondent voluntarily gifted me a Toyota Hilux in the presence of other persons without any papers whatsoever to support transfer of ownership from her to me.
”That because the 2nd Respondent failed, refused, and or neglected to hand over necessary documents of the Toyota Hilux vehicle to me I requested her to come and take it back before our relationship turned sour but she gave a deaf ear.
”That I eventually handed over the Toyota Hilux vehicle to Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (FCIID), Nigeria Police Force with office at Area 10, Garki, FCT-Abuja for onward delivery to the 2nd Respondent. Copy of picture showing the Toyota Hilux vehicle parked at the FCIID is attached as EXHIBIT F.
”That I was however surprised that one Edwin Esq. of FCT Command of the Department of State Services (DSS) with office at No. 7, Gamal Abdel-Nasser Street, Off Julius Nyerere Crescent, Near Kapital Klub and Apartments, Asokoro, FCT-Abuja being under the supervision and control of the 1st Respondent called me and sent a text message vide telephone number 09052460445 on Thursday, 16th September 2021 inviting me in connection with my estranged relationship with the 2nd Respondent. Screenshot of the text message is attached as EXHIBIT G.
”That the 2nd Respondent caused Kanyi Daily to publicize untrue, fictitious, and unsubstantiated story on the same Thursday, 16th September 2021 vide Kanyi Daily against the person of the Applicant with the caption: “Tonto Dikeh’s Ex-lover, Prince Kpokpogri Arrested By DSS Over Blackmail And Extortion”. Copy of the online newspaper publication is attached as EXHIBIT H.
”That I verily believe that the said invitation by the 1st Respondent is likely targeted at violating my fundamental rights to dignity of human person, personal liberty, and freedom of movement, hence my filing of this suit.
”That I am aware that men and officers of the 1st Respondent have been on my trail by tracking my telephone lines and would not give me a breathing space to enjoy my fundamental rights guaranteed under the laws as a free citizen of Nigeria.
”That the 2nd Respondent is hell-bent on using men and officers of the 1st Respondent to invite, pester, harass and intimidate me because she is a popular film actress and social media influencer with lots of connections, contacts, and followership within and outside Nigeria.
”That it is based on this that I have come before this Honourable Court to seek reprieve, refuge, and enforcement of my fundamental rights.
”That this Honourable Court is the last hope of the common man, hence the need for it to compel the 2nd Respondent to tender an unreserved apology to me whilst awarding compensation in the sum of N10,000,000,000 (Ten Billion Naira) in my favour for the mental trauma, emotional stress and severe damage I have suffered as a result of the issues giving rise to this suit.
”That I verily believe that the Respondents herein will not stop conniving to put me in harm’s way through unwarranted, illegal, and unconstitutional arrest and detention unless they are restrained by this Honourable Court”.

BEHIND THE SCENCES
Kidnapped SecretsReporters Journalist Stanley Ugagbe Found at Police Headquarters After 48 Hours Blindfolded Over Government Secrets Leak and Petition by CBN Deputy Governor Emem Usoro

Policemen in masks abducting Journalist Stanley Ugagbe
The operatives handcuffed him, took him to his residence in Jikwoyi, seized his work laptop and phone, blindfolded him and drove him to an undisclosed location.
As earlier reported by this newspaper, Ugagbe’s arrest is believed to be connected to a report published by SecretsReporters titled: “EXCLUSIVE: CBN Deputy Governor Emem Usoro Linked to N3.6bn Los Angeles Property Amid Questions Over Asset Declaration Compliance (Part 2).”
Sources said Ugagbe remained blindfolded throughout the night at the first location until Thursday, July 2. He was then driven to another facility, still blindfolded, before the blindfold was removed. SecretsReporters has since established that the facility was the National Cybercrime Centre (NCCC).
Sources within the NCCC told SecretsReporters that one of the petitions against the journalist was submitted by the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Emem Usoro, who reportedly alleged that he published false information about her.
According to the same sources, a second petition, allegedly submitted anonymously, accused the journalist platform of leaking sensitive government information and official secrets considered detrimental by the authorities.
During questioning, Ugagbe reportedly maintained that, as a reporter, he was assigned stories by the management of SecretsReporters and was not the custodian of the source materials used in preparing some investigative reports, as all investigations belongs to the organization.
The sources further stated that he noted that laptops, communication devices and other equipment used by him and other reporters in carrying out their official assignments are company property belonging to SecretsReporters.
Meanwhile, an examination of Ugagbe’s mobile phone call records obtained by SecretsReporters showed that his phone was switched on by security operatives at about 4:00 a.m. on July 2. During that period, four calls were received but went unanswered before the device was switched off again.
The Police is yet to officially own up to kidnapping the journalist.

Exclusive: Ex Militant Tompolo Moves Niger Delta Traditional Rulers To Beg President Tinubu Over N2.1 Trillion Pipeline Surveillance Contract Renewal
Secrets Reporters
The battle for the renewal and cancellation of the N2.1 trillion pipeline surveillance awarded to two companies owned by two cousins namely Tantita Security Services Limited and Maton Engineering Limited has shifted to Abuja.
SecretsReporters can exclusively report that the decentralization of the pipeline surveillance championed by social activist and businessman, Tega Oghenedoro, popularly known as Fejiro Oliver, has led to President Bola Tinubu giving his words to stakeholders that he will split the contract along ethnic line, which has caused worries to Government Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo, who owns Tantita Security company covering the Western Corridors of the pipeline contract. His cousin Matthew Tolangha owns Maton Engineering Limited that covers the central corridor.
To convince the President that his company Tantita be solely responsible for holding the multi trillion Naira contract while subleasing to other minor companies, we can authoritatively report that he has bought flight tickets and reserved hotel accommodation for almost all the Niger Delta traditional rulers, apart from the first class kings who refused the gestures, to meet the President next week Thursday in Abuja. They will be leaving for Abuja on Wednesday, revealed several traditional rulers to this medium. The contract is due for renewal in August 2026 but has faced opposition from major stakeholders under the banner of ‘Guard your pipeline and I guard my own’, led by Fejiro Oliver and former Niger Delta agitators like HRM Ateke Tom, Victor Ben aka General Boyloaf, Ajube aka Shoot at Sight, Ateke Tom and many others. Recently, Niger Delta stakeholders such as Ayiri Emami and Diden Michael aka Ejele also joined in the call for the decentralization of the pipeline surveillance.
“We have been promised $5,000 per person after seeing Mr President, which is different from our already paid return flight tickers and hotel accommodation. We should be around hundred selected kings that will meet the President to discuss Niger Delta issues, pass a vote of confidence on Tinubu, endorse him for a second term, even though we know the main purpose is to tell him to give the contract back to Tompolo next month” narrated a king who craved anonymity. An estimated cost of the logistics and welfare package means over N5 billion may be spent by the warlord on the king’s alone.
The meeting we gathered was made possible by the embattled Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, who is facing national heat for allegedly demanding for over Ten billion Naira bribe from Prince Adeyemi ‘fake’ Presidential Investment Council and the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, who is at the forefront of ensuring that the contract is awarded back to Tompolo despite obvious resistance from the region.
The National Assembly committees on Gas, Midstream, Upstream and Downstream recently passed a vote of confidence on Tantita, a move condemned by stakeholders led by Ijaw Youth Council President, Theophilus Alaye during a two hour live coverage on national television.
Since the award of the contract to the ex militant, local oil bunkering has reduced drastically, yet oil production has been below the OPEC benchmark.
