Ex husband of popular Nollywood actor, Tonto Dikeh, Olakunle Churchill, has accused her of forgery and illegal sale of his Toyota Prado SUV vehicle valued at N22 million.
The accusation was contained in a petition submitted to the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Mohammad Adamu.
The acknowledgment copy of the letter dated April 4 and submitted through his lawyer, Ace Solicitors, to the office of the IGP was made available on social media
In the letter, Churchill alleged that he acquired the said vehicle through his organisation, Big Church Group and that after their divorce, he left the white Prado SUV with Tonto Dikeh, and she thereafter forged ownership documents of the car, and eventually sold it.
The petition read in part: “The car was bought for domestic use of the family, particularly in view of the fact that Ms Tonto Dikeh-Churchill (as she then was) had just put to bed.
“The car was bought in the name of our client’s company as a result of the partnership our client’s company had with Toyota at the material time.

“When the marriage broke down irretrievably, Miss Tonto Dikeh made away with the said vehicle and sold the vehicle to unknown person(s).
“This is without the consent of our client or the company, and without a proper paper work and change of ownership.
“Sir, this complaint has become imperative not for the purpose of recovering the said vehicle from Tonto Dikeh or any third party, but for record and documentation purposes.
“It is to absolve our client and Big Church Group Limited of any liability in the event of the said vehicle being used for any illegal purpose, as our client is not aware of who the vehicle was sold to.”
However, Tonto in a swift reaction on her Instagram page told the ex husband that she was battle ready. She wrote: “Little by little the truth is coming out, and we all come out. Please keep shooting yourself on the leg, I am here for it.”
