MFM WINS AGAIN AS US COURT SLAMS BLOGGER, FUNKE ASHEKUN WITH 50,000 DOLLARS FOR SLANDERING CHURCH AND DR. OLUKOYA By Femi Oyewale
The recent court ruling in the United States against Funke Ashekun, a Nigerian blogger, has brought a significant victory for Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) and its General Overseer, Dr. Olukoya. Asekun has been accused of spreading false information and defaming the church and its leaders for over three years on social media platforms.
Despite being warned to stop her destructive mission, Ashekun continued to spread falsehoods against MFM and its leaders, believing that she could hide in the US and escape any consequences. However, the US court ruled in favor of MFM and awarded the church a sum of $50,000 in damages.
This victory represents a significant win for MFM, its pastors, and Dr. Olukoya, as the jury unanimously found Ashekun’s postings to be defamatory and false. The lead counsel for MFM, Gilbert Garcia, expressed the ministry’s gratitude for the jury’s decision and emphasized the importance of vindicating the church’s position.
It is essential to note that spreading false information and defaming individuals or organizations can have severe consequences, as demonstrated by the outcome of this case. The ruling serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible and ethical behavior, especially in the age of social media, where misinformation can spread rapidly.
Furthermore, this case highlights the need for individuals to be mindful of the impact of their words and actions, as they can have far-reaching consequences. It also serves as a warning to those who engage in slanderous behavior, as they may face legal repercussions for their actions.
In conclusion, the court’s ruling in favor of MFM and Dr. Olukoya sends a clear message that defamation and spreading false information will not be tolerated. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding integrity and ethical conduct in all forms of communication. This victory is a testament to the resilience and commitment of MFM and its leaders to uphold their reputation and values in the face of adversity.
