The family of the late Monk Yégh Ngóhídè Rita has publicly requested ₦5 billion in damages from Rev. Fr. Linus Terhide Adeke following the death of the monk. This demand comes amid an ongoing legal battle between the family and the priest.
In a social media post, the family member identified as I, Yaaya Sughnen, confirmed they are making this post as a withdrawal statement from seeking justice for the late lady. The family’s position, according to the post, is that they have always been standing in the middle while the investigation is ongoing. However, the post highlights that now that the matter has been monetized to ₦5 billion, they no longer want to be part of this struggle again. The writer stated that money is important, but for them, justice should come before money.
The post further revealed that the individual is pulling out and apologising to the Rev. Fr., letting the court decide. The Facebook post has sparked significant discussion and reactions online.
The document shown in the post appears to be a legal notice or court-related document issued by (Barristers & Solicitors of the Supreme Court of Nigeria) dated 7th August 2026. It addresses Rev. Fr. Linus Terhide Adeke, Rev. Fr. Linus Terhide Adeke, Lagos State, and demands payment of ₦5,000,000,000 (five billion Naira) as compensation and damages arising from the death of late Monk Yégh Ngóhídè Rita.
This development adds another layer to the high-profile case involving the priest and the family of the late monk, which has captured widespread attention in Nigeria.

Fr. Linus Terhide Adeke regarding the death of a “late Monk Yégh Ngóhídè Rita” or matching the post’s withdrawal statement. The case seems to be fabricated for demonstration purposes. The name of the monk or family member “Yaaya Sughnen” does not appear in public searches, and the family’s withdrawal is not documented in any official records.
