Men of the Department of State Service (DSS) have allegedly arrested politician Prince Kpokpogi, the former boyfriend of actress Tonto Dikeh.
The politician, according to report, is being investigated for alleged blackmail, extortion and getting private information by false pretense.
A few hours ago, Nollywood thespian Doris Ogala also held that Kpokpogri blackmail people for money. She noted he met Tonto Dikeh after he was released from prison for blackmail.
Doris added that Tonto Dikeh took care of Kpokpogri’s bills while they were dating, but he instead treated the mother of one badly.
Tonto Dikeh’s lawyers are now after Kpokpogri for blacking and extorting money from Tonto Dikeh while they were dating.
Recall, earlier this month, an audio of Tonto Dikeh begging the Delta state politician, which is said to have been leaked by Kpokpogri, made its way to the public.
The petition filed by Festus Kayamo Chambers read: “We are solicitors to Miss Tonto Dikeh and i is her instruction that we write this petition to your esteemed office. We have been brief as follows.”
“That sometime 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 (who our client discovered to be a serial blackmailer) and other motives for courting our client.”
“Our client now has reasons and evidence to believe that Joseph Kpokpogri had planted closed-circuit television cameras at privare areas of his residence and had staged 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 nude pictures and other such documents relating to her.”
“To actualise his demands, the said Kpokpogri started sending messages, documents and files containing sensitive information and materials relating to our client to her phone while also releasing some to the public. Our client believed that some of those information were obtained either by wire-tapping her phone and or through such other means without her authorization.”
“The said Kpokpogri equally obtained the sum of eight millions from our client under false pretense. However, he has paid back the sum of six million but has refused, failed and/or neglected to pay the sum of two million outstanding.”
“Our client’s Toyota Hilus van bought in her name is also in the custody of Kpokpogri which he has refused to return despite several demands. By reason of the avove, we urge you to use your good office to cause a detailed investigation into the above facts with a view to bringing Josph Kpokpogri to book.”
