JAN 29, 2021 LISTEN

Nigerian business mogul Aliko Dangote has narrated how his ex US girlfriend Autumn Spike tried to extort $5 million from him.

Dangote, who doubles as Africa’s richest man this time under pseudonym, John Doe, with AD, that stands for his name, Aliko Dangote, filed a civil law suit against the lady at a Miami –Dade county court in Florida, United States of America.

He sought $30,000 in damages against Ms. Spikes who showed his butt on social media in her quest to expose their relationship.

According to the Premium Times, a court document filed by the plaintiff as at January 22, 2021 was titled ‘Complaint petition for declaratory judgment complaint for (about) extortion petition for injunctive relief’.

Ms. Spikes was accused of libel, defamation, cyberstalking and a breach agreement to keep her relationship with Mr. Dangote private and off social media.

The document went on to state that Mr. Dangote’s “business acumen has made him a target for coercion by the defendant”, adding that Ms Spikes demanded “meritless claims of $5 million” in the nature of “palimony to which she is not legally entitled”.

Early this year, the relationship between Mr. Dangote and Ms. Spikes went viral after Ms Spikes under her social media name, “Allarounda1” shared a video on Instagram showing herself and Mr. Dangote relaxing in a couch with an orange blanket.

Dangote’s suit further narrated that the lady had a few times in the past being demanding some financial help from the businessman to help her start a restaurant business as an entrepreneur, a request the former had agreed to pay on the grounds that it will be private.

His court document read in part, “Autumn Spikes demanded from the plaintiff assistance as an entrepreneur in a start-up business when there was no loan commitment, nor oral or written promise.

The document said Spikes’ demand is “embarrassing and upsetting” adding that she “demands support in lieu of marriage or alienation of affection when she is not entitled to the same”.

Mr Dangote’s lawyers described him in the court document as “a wealthy entrepreneur, whose business acumenhas made a target for coercion by the defendant.

The lawyers said the plaintiff used pseudonyms like John Doe and AD to avoid unnecessary media attention and avert coercion to pay the demanded money by Ms Spikes.
