Olori Dr Olayinka Kiladejo, the Queen of Ondo Town, has confirmed that actress Tonto Dikeh’s ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill, wasn’t a gardener.
The Queen confirmed this while presenting a speech. Churchill donated a missionary bus to the St. Stephen Anglican Church Cathedral in honour of his late father.
It was alleged that the philanthropist’s late father, Primate Gabriel Oladunni, was just a gardener when, in fact, he was known by royal dignitaries and truly respected.
Olori Dr Olayinka Kiladejo confirmed that his late father was a respectable religious leader.

Recall that during her messy split from Churchill, Tonto had claimed Churchill’s father was former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s gardener.
Debunking her claims, Churchill stated that his father wasn’t a gardener, and even if he was, Jesus Christ was the son of a Carpenter, and one’s background shouldn’t determine one’s limits to greatness. The businessman noted how his mother’s pictures are on the internet and questioned whether she looks like the wife of a gardener.
In 2020, Churchill had sought redress at the High Court in Abuja against Tonto, seeking no less than N500 million in damages over her infamous May 2019 interview. In the video, the actress made some provocative and indicting claims against him, and alleging that Churchill is into cyber fraud popularly called Yahoo Yahoo.
A year later, Rosy Meurer’s husband issued Tonto a cease-and-desist letter for defaming his character and that of his wife. The letter noted how Tonto had published falsehoods against Churchill and his wife, claimed that she had sponsored their wedding, labelled Rosy a husband snatcher, and accused him of being a deadbeat father.
Tonto responded to the accusations by alleging that the accuser was mentally unstable and that the lawsuit had no basis. She also hurled insults at him, labelling him a deadbeat father, a yahoo boy, and even a ritualist. She warned Churchill that he should anticipate a reply from her within the next 24 hours.
