Alleged Marriage Separation: Ex-Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode To Sue Blogger For N2bn
Nigeria’s former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has filed a pre-litigation letter to blogger, Stella Dimoko Korkus, over rumour that he has separated with his wife, Precious Chikwendu.
In a letter signed by his lawyer, Mr. Adeola Adedipe, dated September 16, 2020, the former minister described the report as preposterous.
The letter titled, ‘Defamation of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode- Re: Femi Fani-Kayode and Precious Chikwendu Part Ways Over Alleged Domestic Violence’, stated that the allegations were spurious and maliciously engineered.
The ex aviation minister who served under former President, Goodluck Jonathan said he was disturbed about the manner in which the report was written which insults the sensibilities of unsuspecting readers.
The letter titled, ‘Defamation of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode- Re: Femi Fani-Kayode and Precious Chikwendu Part Ways Over Alleged Domestic Violence’, stated that the allegations were spurious and maliciously engineered.
Part of the letter reads thus:
“Our client is aggrieved and has instructed us to draw your attention to these libelous breaches of his person and family. By this publication, our client has received denigrating phone calls and messages across the globe by virtue of which he now sufferers immeasurable loss of goodwill.
“However, he is inclined to draw a curtain over the wild and spurious claims if you retract the allegations on the same platform they were published and consequently apologise to him in two other national dailies.
“You are also advised to enter into negotiations with us for the sum of two billion naira only being a token amount for penitence. Please bear in mind that you have 14 days from receipt of this letter to comply with the highlighted mitigating measures, the failure of which will leave our client with no preferred alternative than to seek redress in court.”
Recall we earlier reported that Femi Fani-Kayode’s marriage with his 4th wife, Precious has allegedly hit the rocks over alleged domestic violence, IVF and DNA related issues. Read full story HERE.
