Ghanaian socialite and owner of the Pot of Shuga restaurant, Abena Serwaa Frimpong, popularly known as Shugatiti, has filed a defamation lawsuit against popular man of God, Frank Gogo, and two others.
This comes after Gogo, also known as Prophet Ekatso, allegedly referred to Shugatiti as a demon of the sea known as “Mami Wata.”
The pastor made these allegations during an interview on Oman Channel with host Msomfo Efia Empress.

Shugatiti’s lawyer in her statement of claim is asking the court to declare that the words uttered by the defendants on Oman Channel, which was published on 16th April, are defamatory.
The lawsuit also seeks a number of claims, including general damages for defamation of character, punitive damages, and four other claims.
Shugatiti has taken to Twitter to express her readiness to meet the man of God in court for him to prove the allegations.

The case is expected to be heard in court soon, and many are eagerly waiting to see how it will play out.
