Mercy Chinwo: Nathaniel Bassey petitions IGP over paternity rumour by four social media users

GOSPEL singer Nathaniel Bassey has petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, seeking the investigation and prosecution of four persons for alleged criminal defamation and cyberstalking against him.

The ace singer turned in the petition through his lawyers, Peter Abraham, Uche Matthew, Gbenga Agunloye, and Anthony Abia.

This is coming barely a week after four social media users concocted a vicious insinuation that Bassey is the biological father of the son of a fellow gospel singer, Mercy Chinwo.

The allegation quickly went viral as photos of the singer and the toddler were circulated online for juxtaposition.

Consequently, Bassey’s lawyers urged the police authorities to, with all sense of urgency, treat the petition against the four social media users, identified in the petition as Okoronkwo Ejike, Kingsley Ibeh, Terrence Ekot and Dj Spoiltkid.
