Chef Dammy’s pastor sued by Ekiti government, demands N10 million damages

“My pastor paid for everything, all i did was to cook” – Chef dammy spills details about controversial cookathon In a bid to address the ongoing controversy surrounding her recent cooking marathon, chef Dammy has come forward to clarify the source of funding for the event and dispel rumors implicating her pastor. The cooking marathon, which lasted an astounding 120 hours and commenced on Friday, June 9, had attracted widespread attention and speculation. Responding to the allegations, Chef Dammy released a statement on Twitter, asserting that her pastor and members of her church were the financial facilitators behind the event. She emphasized that she was merely the face of the church’s endeavor and was not directly involved in the funding process. She expressed her disappointment at the lack of focus on the initial capital investment required to launch the program, as critics predominantly focused on the money raised during the marathon. “People always criticize about the money coming in, but they don’t ask about the money that was used to start up the whole program,” Dammy stated. “This program was fully funded by my pastor and a few members of the church. I was not involved in anything. The only thing I did in everything was to cook. I was just the face of the church.” Addressing the rumors surrounding her pastor’s involvement in the proceeds from the cooking marathon, Chef Dammy categorically denied the allegations. She urged individuals to refrain from spreading false information, affirming that more than half of the funds generated were still in her personal account. Dammy clarified that the total amount received had not surpassed the initial investment made to establish the event. “As a matter of fact, all the money that came in for me is not yet up to the money that was used to set up everything. And more than half of the supposed money that came in is still in my personal account. So ongoing rumors about my pastor should please cease,” Dammy explained.

According to reports, the Ekiti government has sued Chef Dammy’s pastor, Pastor Jeremiah, for damages on his behalf.

Chef Dammy, a Nigerian chef, has filed a rights infringement lawsuit against Jeremiah Adegoke and the Ekiti State Police Command at the Ekiti State High Court in Ado Ekiti.

The lawsuit was filed by the Ekiti State Ministry of Justice’s Directorate of Citizens Rights (DCR).

The DCR also asked the court to stop Mr. Adegoke and the police from detaining Chef Dammy and to award her N10 million in damages for her unsuccessful attempt to break a Guinness World Record.

The lawsuit was filed barely a week after Chef Dammy was reportedly arrested on the order of Mr Adegoke, who was her pastor.

The 24-year-old raised concerns in October about alleged harassment and constant threats from people she labeled as “people of God” and her pastor, which sparked the conflict between Chef Dammy and her pastor.

The Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) 300-level Mass Communication student said that she had been intimidated and harassed, which had left her constantly afraid for her life.

It’s unclear exactly what the chef and her once-supportive pastor were fighting about, but it seems like their disagreement stemmed from the unsuccessful cook-a-thon.

The lawsuit seeks a declaration that the continued harassment, molestation, threat of arrest, and intimidation by the pastor, allied with Mr Samuel and the Nigerian police, infringes on the applicant’s fundamental human rights.
