• The saga between Nigerian actress, Tonto Dikeh and her ex-lover, Prince Kpokpogri seems to be getting messier as reports have it that Tonto had taken the matter to the Police.
Prince Kpokpogri Joseph, the ex-lover to Nollywood actress, Tonto Charity Dikeh, has responded to the claim that he was arrested by the Nigeria Police.
Recall that on Wednesday, September 15, news made the rounds on internet that Prince Kpokpogri, the ex-lover of the actress got arrested by the operatives of Department of State Services, DSS, for blackmailing her.
In the petition filed against him, Tonto alleged through her lawyer, outlined some of the reasons she decided to arrest her former lover, one of which was that Mr Kpokpogri fell in love with Tonto in order to blackmail her.
It was noted in the petition that Kpokpogri began threatening Tonto in August, after he demanded money from her, which she refused given to him.
And Tonto had alleged that Kpokpogri has refused retuning her Toyota Hilux he took from her, adding that he still owes her N2 million out of N8 million he borrowed from her.
And after Tonto approached him to demand for her belongings, he threatened to release her nude photos.
The petition reads in part, “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 had other motives for courting our client.
“Our client now has reasons and evidence to believe that Joseph Kpokpogri had planted closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV cameras) at private areas of his residence, and had stage-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 her nude pictures and other such documents relating to her. To actualise his demand, the said Kpokpogri started sending messages, documents, and files containing sensitive information and materials relating our client to her phone number while releasing some to the public.
“Our client believes that some of those information were obtained either through wire-tapping her phone and/or through such other means without her authorisation.
“The said Kpokpogri equally obtained the sum of N8,000,000.00 (Eight million naira) from our client under false pretenses. However, he has paid back the sum of N6,000,000.00 (six million naira) but has refused, failed, and/or neglected to pay the sum of N2,000,000.00 (Two million naira) outstanding.
“Our client’s Toyota Hilux van (2021 model) bought in her name is also in the custody of Kpokpogri which he has refused to return despite several demands.”
However, shortly after the reports made the rounds, Kpokpogri took to his Instagram and did a live video, debunking that he wasn’t arrested by any DSS. He also advised his ex-lover, Tonto to return his Lexus car she’s in custody of.
He said, “I dey my house, rumour say that I have been picked by the DSS. If you have any information on anybody, don’t come to the social media and rant and talk nonsense. Come out with your evidence, put it before the public.
“I want the general public to disregard that rumour that is flying up and down that I have been picked by DSS. That is why I came on Live.
“You cannot carry my vehicle and park it in your compound, a motor that you cannot buy till you die. Then you think you want to use DSS or you want to use the Nigerian security agency to do your hatchet job.
“This is Nigeria, we are governed by laws. If you have anything against me, go and tender it anywhere. Let them invite me, I will go there. I have all the abilities to defend myself.”

The issue with Tonto and Kpokpogri began two months after they made their relationship public, following an audio tape, which has Kpokpogri’s voice blackmailing Tonto with some other lady.
It continued till Kpokpogri came with his own audio tape evidence, showing when the actress, Tonto was pleading with him not to break up from her after she cheated on him with a man in Lagos.
Tonto has also shared in a post claiming that the audio tape, released by Kpokpogri has nothing to do with their break-up.
