A former minister of aviation, Femi Fani- Kayode has threatened to sue a blog for alleged defamation of character , asking for the sum of N2bn as a token amount for penitence.
The blog had published a story of the minister and his wife , Precious Chikwendu, parting ways as a result of extreme domestic violence allegedly dealt to Precious by the former minister. The publication also called to question the maternity of the minister’s sons with his wife.
A letter to the blog, dated September 16, 2020 from the chambers of Ahmed Raji and Co., noted that the said publication portrayed its client as a hypocrite, cruel and wife beater.
The letter read, “Our client, Femi Fani Kayode denies the weighty allegations as he posits that they are not only spurious but also maliciously engineered.
“Our client is aggrieved and instructed us to draw your attention to these libellous breaches on 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 suffers immeasurable loss of goodwill.
“However, he is inclined to draw a curtain over the wild and spurious claims, if you retract the allegation on the same platform, apologised in two other National dailies.

“Please bear in mind that you have 14 days from this receipt of the 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”.
