Ghanaian socialite and owner of the Pot of Shuga restaurant, Abena Serwaa Frimpong better known as Shugatiti has filed a defamation lawsuit against popular man of God, Frank Gogo and two others.
The lawsuit stems from allegations made by Reverend Gogo popularly known as Prophet Ekatso that Shugatiti is a demon of the sea known as “Mami Wata”
Speaking on Oman Channel with host Msomfo Efia Empress the prophet alleged that the entrepreneur was using exoteric powers to lure people to buy her food.
“She is possessed by a marine spirit and all those who visit her restaurant will end up being possessed. She is a queen in the realms of the spirit. Anyone who has eaten in her restaurant and is a woman has been possessed.
“She has been sent by the devil to destroy. She can possess women who visit her restaurant merely by talking to you or having an encounter with you…all those who visit her restaurant should be very careful,” the pastor said in the interview.
These claims which have been vehemently denied by Shugatiti led her to sue the pastor, the media establishment, Mama Radio GH and host Msomfo Efia Empress in court to clear her name.
According to the sexy socialite, the allegations are entirely unfounded and have caused irreparable damage to her reputation.
Sharing the news of the defamation suit on Twitter, Shugatiti said she was ready to meet the man of God in court for him to prove the allegations.
“Members of Frank Gogo (Ekatso) church inform your pastor to meet me in court to prove that I’m a demon of the sea with an evidence of entering the sea,” the tweet said.
Based on the court documents obtained, it is alleged that the “plaintiff is a demon-possessed person of questionable character and means and hence it is dangerous for ordinary right-thinking members of society to be associated, acquainted or have any contact whatsoever with the dentist.”
Shugatiti through her lawyer in her statement of claim is asking the court to declare “That the words uttered by defendants on Oman Channel which was published on 16th April on OMAN Channel can be found on Youtube is defamatory “
It also asks for a number of claims including “General damages for defamation of character” “Punitive damages” and 4 other claims.
