Controversial Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has cried out over fears that her estranged lover, Prince Kpokpogri Joseph, may release her nude pictures.
The actress whose relationship with Kpokpogri crashed last month after a tumultuous two years, said she has sent a petition to the police as her ex-lover had threated to use her nudes against her.
Tonto further accused her ex-lover of blackmail, extortion, and obtaining by false pretence. In the petition issued on her behalf by her legal team, Tonto said Kpokporgi has refused to return the sum of N2 million he collected from her.

She also claimed that one of her expensive vehicles is in his possession.
The petition reads in part:
āFrom sometime in June 2021, one Prince Kpokpogri Joseph started to court our client with a proposal to marry her.
āIn the process, he would invite our client to his residence and sometimes, he came over to our clientās residence.
āUnknown to our client, the said Joseph Kpokpogri (who our client later discovered to be a serial blackmailer) had other motives for courting our client.
āOur client now has reasons and evidence to believe that Joseph Kpokpogri has planted closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV Cameras) at private areas of his residence.
āHe had also stage-managed those visits with the aim of blackmailing our client.
āShe was surprised when, sometime in August 2021, the suspect started demanding money from her and threatening to expose nude pictures and other such documents relating to her.
āTo actualize his demands, the said Kpokpogri started sending messages, documents, and files containing sensitive information and materials relating to our client to her phone.
āHe has also been releasing some to the public. Our client believes that some of those information were obtained either by wire-tapping her phone and/or through such other means without her authorization.
āThe said Kpokpogri equally obtained the sum of eight million naira (8,000,000) from our client under false pretenses.
āHowever, he has paid back the sum of six million naira (6,000,000) but has refused, failed, and/or neglected to pay the sum of two million naira (2,000,000) outstanding.
āOur clientās Toyota Hilux van (2021 Model) bought in her name is also in the custody of Kpokpogri which he has refused to return despite several demands.
āBy reason of the above, we urge you to use your good offices to cause a detailed investigation into the above facts with a view to bring Joseph Kpokpogri to book.ā
Their relationship between Tonto and Kpokpogiri turned sour after an anonymous blogger revealed Kpokpogriās alleged infidelity.
Kpokpogri later released statements that implied that the actress was unfaithful as well. He also leaked an audio where the actress was heard begging him over something that went wrong in the relationship.
