Police invite, grant bail to chef Dammy over claim against pastor

Men of the Ondo State Police Command have released Damilola Adeparusi, popularly known as Chef Dammy.

She was detained on Thursday following a petition filed by her pastor, Prophet Adegoke Jeremiah.

Chef Dammy was interrogated by operatives of the Police AIG Zone 17 in Akure.

The Zone in a statement on ‘X’ said, “A complaint was received by the office of AIG Zone 17 via a written petition against chef Dammy.

“She was then invited for interrogation which she honoured today as she came with a female staff from the office of Her Excellency, the First Lady of Ekiti State. Dammy was later released to her as the investigation will continue.

“We assure you all that justice will be served without prejudice.”

The zone’s spokesman, DSP Hakeem disclosed that Dammy honoured the police invitation and was consequently granted administrative bail after providing a surety.

Dammy and her pastor, popularly known as Billion Dollar Prophet came into the limelight when the former started her cook-a-thon ‘test run’ on 11 June and continued until 15 June, cooking over 100 pots of food during her four-day kitchen stint.

The 24-year-old said it was motivated by her pastor.

The fallout between the chef and the cleric ensued when the young woman cried out that Billionaire Pastor should be held responsible if any harm befalls her, a statement the cleric found outrageous, which made him seek police help.
