The break-up drama between popular Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, and her former lover, Prince Kpokpogri, has gotten messier. There were claims that the actress petitioned the Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory, to investigate her former lover, Prince Kpokpogri Joseph, for allegedly blackmailing her.
Due to this, it was reported that Kpokpogri was picked up by the Department of State Services.
According to the petition widely circulated on social media, titled, “Blackmail, extortion and obtaining by false pretences against a certain Prince Kpokpogri Joseph,” the actress claimed that her ex-boyfriend is a serial blackmailer.
In the petition, the actress, through her lawyers, claimed that Kpokpogri intended to leak her nude pictures online. She further claimed that her former lover borrowed N8m from her but only refunded N6m.
The petition reads in part, “In June 2021, one Prince Kpokpogri Joseph started to court our client with a proposal to marry her. In the process, he would invite our client to his residence and sometimes he came over to our client’s residence. Unknown to our client, the said Joseph Kpokpogri had other motives for courting our client.
“Our client now has reasons and evidence to believe that Joseph Kpokpogri had planted closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV cameras) at private areas of his residence, and had stage-managed those visits with the aim of blackmailing our client.
“She was surprised when, sometime in August 2021, the suspect started demanding money from her and threatening to expose her nude pictures and other such documents relating to her. To actualise his demand, the said Kpokpogri started sending messages, documents, and files containing sensitive information and materials relating our client to her phone number while releasing some to the public.
