A Nigerian lady has asked gospel artist and clergyman Nathaniel Bassey to pardon the social media users he sued for slander.
Recall that his attorneys petitioned the IGP after citizens claimed he is the father of Mercy Chinwo’s son.
Mercy Chinwo and her husband, Blessed Uzochikwa, shared images of their child born in 2023.
However, the photographs elicited several opinions, with some online users saying that the infant does not belong to Pastor Blessed.
Many people advised her spouse to conduct a DNA test since they feel the infant resembles Nathaniel Bassey.
The gospel musician and his attorneys went on to file a petition with the police for defamation of character, including proof, evidence, and a list of those involved.
While one of the individuals involved claimed that he just shared what he saw on Facebook, a Twitter user, @TrulyDearest_, pleaded Nathaniel Bassey to drop the matter.
According to her, this was his opportunity to exercise forgiveness as taught in the Bible.
She wrote:
“@nathanielblow it is now to demonstrate to Nigerians what Christians have been preaching about which is forgiveness. You have to prove it now.
Same people that are pushing you to sue will be the ones that will be condemning you if you go ahead with the case. Let the sleeping dog lie.”
What sort of sleeping dog should he let lie down.
Silly people who love to gain cheap popularity by malignant other people’s character
I am fully in support of suing those guys and ensure they face the full wrath of the law including going to jail.
Nonsense.
