The American lady and alleged former girlfriend of Aliko Dangote's, Autumn Spike, has taken to the social media to jubilate after a US court dismissed the lawsuit the African richest man filed against her.
Aliko Dangote under the pseudonym John Doe filed a civil suit against Ms Spike in January, seeking "excess of $30,000" in damages against her after she shared a controversial video of herself together with Dangote on her Instagram page on January 1st, 2021.
The video which quickly went viral on social media after Spike first posted it on her Instagram account showed the African richest person lying on a couch with Ms Spike sitting next to her. However, the subject of controversy in the video was the exposure of Dangote's buttock in the video.
Following this, Dangote accused Spike of libel, defamation and a breach of agreement "to keep their relationship private and away from the social media." Also, Dangote accused her of attempting to extort him through her demand for $5,000 million in palimony.
However, the court has now dismissed the case following the plaintiff, Aliko Dangote's voluntary withdrawal. While Dangote's counsel stated in the "Notice of Dismissal" that Spike's conduct which was the object of complaint has ceased, she insisted she was vindicated because Dangote's legal team had no evidence to back claims against her.
"Never extorted him. Never was a side chick. Never was an escort, never was a prostitute, you were a part of me for the past decade and you really hurt me with this." Ms Spike stated in her message to Dangote saying it is now her turn to tell her truth.
