Popular Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has been invited to the Nigeria Police Force headquarters in connection with an investigation into criminal defamation, cyberbullying, and forgery, among other charges.
The Inspector-General of Police Monitoring Unit, which is handling the case, issued the invitation.
In the invitation letter signed by the Head of the IGP Monitoring Unit, A.A. Elleman, it was stated that the actress’s name prominently appeared in the investigation being conducted by the unit.
The letter, dated 5th of August, read: “This office is investigating a case of criminal defamation, forgery, falsehood, cyberbullying, and criminal conversion reported to the Inspector-General of Police, in which your name and others feature prominently.
“In view of the above, you are kindly requested to attend an interview with the undersigned through SP Aminu Abdullahi Sokoto on 7th August 2024 at 10:00hrs to shed more light on the allegations.
“Your usual cooperation in this regard would be highly appreciated.”
When contacted on Friday, the Force spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed that Dikeh was invited following a petition against her.
He added that she had been released while the investigation continues.
Adejobi said, “She was only invited to respond to a petition filed against her, and she has since left the unit, while the investigation continues.”
