Damilola Adeparausi, better known as Chef Dammy, has been served a notice by her pastor, Adegoke Jeremiah, aka Billion Dollar Prophet, who is demanding N20 million for character assassination.
Recall that Chef Dammy had called Jeremiah several times on her Instagram page, alleging harassment and a threat to life.
