Police Invite Nollywood Actress Tonto Dikeh Over Defamation and Other Charges

The Nigeria Police Force has summoned Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh to its headquarters for questioning. The investigation centers around criminal defamation, cyberbullying, forgery, and related offenses. The invitation was issued by the Inspector-General of Police Monitoring Unit, which is handling the case.

In an invitation letter dated August 5, 2024, and signed by the Head of the IGP Monitoring Unit, A.A. Elleman, Tonto Dikeh’s name prominently appeared in the ongoing investigation. The letter requested her attendance at an interview with SP Aminu Abdullahi Sokoto on August 7, 2024, to shed light on the allegations. The police emphasized the importance of her cooperation in the matter.

When contacted, Force spokesperson Muyiwa Adejobi confirmed that Dikeh was invited following a petition against her. She has since been released while the investigation continues. The allegations against her include criminal conversion, cyberbullying, forgery, and falsehood.

Tonto Dikeh, a popular figure in the Nigerian entertainment industry, now faces legal scrutiny as the police delve into the allegations. As the case unfolds, citizens closely watch the developments, hoping for justice and transparency in the investigation.
