Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has dragged his former American girlfriend, who exposed a part of his body via a social media post, before a United States court for allegedly trying to extort $5 million from him.

According to Premium Times, he filed a civil suit with a pseudonym, John Doe, against the lady identified as Autumn Spikes at a Miami-Dade County Court in Florida, US.

The business mogul also used as his alias the acronym, AD, which stands for his name, Aliko Dangote.

He is seeking in damages against Spikes an “excess of $30,000”.

One of the court documents filed by the plaintiff on January 22, is titled, ‘Complaint petition for declaratory judgment complaint for (about) extortion petition for injunctive relief’.

According to Premium Times, the document, among other things, accused Spikes of libel, defamation, cyberstalking and a breach of agreement ”to keep their relationship private and off the social media”.

It stated that Dangote’s “business acumen has made him a target for coercion by the defendant”, adding that Spikes demanded “meritless claims of $5 million” in the nature of “palimony to which she is not legally entitled”.

Palimony is an amount of money a law court orders someone to pay regularly to a former partner whom they were living with but were not married to.

“Autumn Spikes has made a demand that the plaintiff pays her five million dollars ($5,000,000.00) as shown in Exhibit 1,” Dangote’s court document states.
