From Ayoyinka Jegede 

A Baltimore County Circuit Court in Maryland has ruled in favor of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries USA, Inc. in a defamation and false light case against Funke Ashekun, ordering her to pay $250,000 in compensatory damages and $50,000 in punitive damages.

The court recognized the "prolonged, intense, and malicious campaign" conducted by Ashekun against Dr. DK Olukoya and the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries.

The jury's decision came after Ashekun's evidence and witnesses were deemed weak and inadmissible.

Dramatically, Ashekun collapsed in court a day before the ruling, reportedly realizing the case was overwhelmingly against her. Her husband also collapsed the next day while submitting a medical report on her behalf

The court's decision is seen as a vindication of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries' reputation and that of Dr. DK Olukoya, the General Overseer.
