For over three years now, a Nigerian lady, named Funke Asekun, who recently relocated to the US, has been on Social Media, spreading all manners of falsehoods against Mountain Of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) Church and her General Overseer with the sole purpose of tarnishing and damaging the reputation of the respected Man of God and that of the ministry - MFM





Being deceived by the illusion that she can hide in the US and successfully carry out the job of her paymasters to ridicule and tarnish the image of MFM and her General Overseer, she refused to heed all godly counsel for her to retrace her steps and refrain from her self-destructive mission. Thus, Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (US) successfully prosecuted its claims against her which did not last for a year. The US jury returned a unanimous verdict in favor of Mountain of Fire USA and its three pastors, Grace Ugeh, Kunle Ladipo and Adekunle Adekola.

The case thus represents a victory for Mountain of fire and miracles ministries, its local pastors and the General Overseer. The unanimous jury also awarded to Mountain of Fire USA the  sum of Fifty Thousand US Dollars ($50,000) which is the full amount of all damages it claimed in the suit. The jury found that the postings of Ms. Ashekun had defamed Mountain of Fire and shown its pastors in a false light.

Mountain of Fire’s lead counsel Gilbert Garcia said that Mountain of Fire was gratified that the jury found in favor and vindicated the position of the ministry.
