Africa-Press<\/a> – Zambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Autumn Spike, the alleged former girlfriend of Africa\u2019s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has taken to the social media to jubilate after a U.S. court dismissed the lawsuit filed against her.<\/p>\n

Aliko Dangote under the pseudonym John Doe filed a civil suit against Ms Spike in January, seeking \u201cexcess of $30,000\u201d in damages against her after she shared a controversial video of herself together with him on her Instagram page on January 1st, 2021.<\/p>\n

The video which quickly went viral on social media after Spike first posted it on her Instagram account showed the billionaire lying on a couch with Ms. Spike sitting next to him.<\/p>\n

Following the video release, Dangote accused Spike of libel, defamation, and a breach of agreement \u201cto keep their relationship private and away from the social media.\u201d Also, Dangote accused her of attempting to extort him through her demand for $5 million in palimony.<\/p>\n

The court has now dismissed the case following the plaintiff, Aliko Dangote\u2019s voluntary withdrawal. While Dangote\u2019s counsel stated in the \u201cNotice of Dismissal\u201d that Spike\u2019s conduct which was the object of complaint has ceased, she insisted she was vindicated because Dangote\u2019s legal team had no evidence to back claims against her.<\/p>\n

Autumn Spike took to her Instagram page to react as she stated that she is finally vindicated. She shared screenshots of the court documents. READ ALSO: \u201dFeels like a dream\u201d \u2013 Young Nigerian celebrates as he buys a Ferrari [Photos\/Video]<\/p>\n

She wrote; \u201dI won because I vindicated. Justice has been served. He had nothing to provide because he lied. The truth will come out now. It\u2019s my turn to tell my truth. THE TRUTH. AND STOP HIDING BEHIND JOHN DOE YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM!!!\u201d \u201dThis whole case has been frivolous. He sued me with no real factual basis.<\/p>\n

He had til sept 30 to submit a second amended compliant with more evidence of extortion. And since this never transpired in the first place\u2026 he waited to the night before to file a \u201cvoluntary dismissal without prejudice\u201d. Basically to avoid paying my legal fees.<\/p>\n

Nothing about this says he \u201cwent easy on me and called it quits\u201d. He\u2019s a liar and he\u2019s petty. But being that we\u2019re both Aries he met his match. ? I attempted to go about all this privately in the first place. But he turned around and sued me publicly ??\u200d\u2640\ufe0f?<\/p>\n

So I defend myself, show you the cards he\u2019s playing and I\u2019m this and that\u2026 You\u2019re not bullying anyone and I\u2019m definitely not scared to clear all this bullshit up that you started.<\/p>\n

Sincerely you got me F****d up, Autumn Spikes\u201d \u201cNever extorted him. Never was a side chick. Never was an escort, never was a prostitute, you were a part of me for the past decade and you really hurt me with this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
