The General Overseer , Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry, Dr Daniel Olukoya , has filed a libel suit against the Publisher of Sahara Reporters , Mr Omoyele Sowore , demanding N 10bn in damages .
In the suit filed before the Akwa Ibom State High Court in Uyo , the MFM founder said he was constrained to take legal action against Sowore, his online platform , Sahara Reporters Incorporated and the Incorporated Trustees of Sahara Media Foundation for their alleged failure to desist from publishing false and malicious articles against him and his church , MFM , since 2013

The cleric said despite complaints, Sowore and his Sahara Reporters remained intransigent and continued to publish offending stories about him and his church .
Olukoya said he had earlier demanded that Sahara Reporters pull down all the offending stories against him and his church within seven days but Omoyele and his platform refused .
He said having failed to take advantage of the seven days he gave them , he had no other option but to sue them .
The Incorporated Trustees of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries was listed as the first claimant while Olukoya was the second claimant in the suit marked HU / 250 / 2018 .
Joined as defendants were Sowore, Incorporated Trustees of Sahara Media Foundation and Sahara Reporters . Apart from the N 10bn damages , the cleric and his church are praying the court to order the defendants to “ pull down and erase each of the offending stories from the Internet forthwith .”
They also want the court to compel Sowore and Sahara Reporters to “ tender a written apology and retraction , published prominently in their online news report and in at least three nationally circulating newspapers and two international magazines , including TIME International. ”
The claimants are also praying for an order of perpetual injunction , “ restraining the defendants by themselves , their agents , servants , privies or other persons, howsoever called or described from further publishing and / or disseminating libellous stories and statements against the claimants .”
