Cleric Apostle Harrison Ayintete’s legal team has issued a formal cease and desist letter to popular media personality and blogger Tunde Ednut over an alleged defamatory post shared on Instagram.

The controversy erupted after Ednut published a video clip of the apostle discussing Tiwa Savage’s past leaked tape saga, which the cleric’s camp argued was accompanied by a misleading caption that falsely attributed statements to him.

Key Highlights of the Dispute:

  • The Legal Demands: The letter, dated October 29, 2026, called out the post on Ednut’s high-profile account, demanding a retraction and a halt to the alleged misrepresentation of the cleric’s thoughts.
  • The Cleric’s Stance: Following the removal of the post, Apostle Ayintete acknowledged the action while issuing a stern warning to other media platforms against distorting his words, stating that future infractions would be met with legal action.
  • Tunde Ednut’s Reaction: Unfazed by the legal move, the blogger fired back sharply on social media, publicly criticizing the cleric and telling him to repent.
