The High Court of Lagos State has dismissed the 20 billion naira lawsuits filed against Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), its General Overseer, Dr. D.K. Olukoya, and their lawyer, Barr Davidson Adejuwon. Sunday Baruwa Olowoyeye and Ayotunde Richards, former members of MFM who turned bloggers, had initiated the suits alleging fundamental rights abuse by the church and its leaders.
Following hearings, Justice Olatokun delivered a judgment on May 31, 2024, dismissing all claims and prayers made by the applicants. This verdict marks a significant setback for the plaintiffs in their attempts to discredit the ministry of MFM and Dr. Olukoya.
The ruling underscores the principle that truth prevails, as falsehoods, no matter how far they spread, are eventually exposed and refuted.
