The President and Founder of Liberty Foundation Gospel Ministries, Helen Ukpabio, has threatened to sue singer Emoseh Khamofu, popularly known as Bloody Civilian, for alleged defamation, demanding N200 billion in damages.
This was stated in a letter dated 25 November 25, 2024, which Bloody Civilian retweeted on Saturday, 23 November, 2025.
In the letter, the Akwa Ibom-born pastor, through her legal counsel—Victor Ukutt and Co. Legal Practitioners—issued the demand under the title, “Demand for Public Apology and Compensation for the Libel of Imaobong Elijah Ukpabio and Apostle Helen Ukpabio.”
The controversy began when an X (formerly Twitter) user identified as #OneJoblessBoy posted the pastor’s photo on Friday, 22 November, 2024 with the caption, “Pastor Helen Ukpabio turns 60 today.” The tweet garnered significant attention, amassing 4.6 million views and a flurry of reactions.
Bloody Civilian later retweeted the post with the claim, “She literally made people burn their children alive.”
This comment sparked a response from the pastor’s daughter, Imaobong Ukpabio, who tweeted under the handle #ima_Elijah, demanding that Bloody Civilian delete the post within five hours or face legal action.
