Former Nigerian Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has condemned an article published by a blogger about his separation with the mother of his four children.
Kemi Filani News recalls that FFK parted ways with his wife, Precious Chikwendu, with whom he had four children all male.
However, Nigerian blogger, Stella Dimokorkus, had reported that Fani-Kayode and his wife separated over domestic violence, adding that his triplet sons may not have been fathered by him.
Reacting to the publication, FFK in a statement issued and signed by his lawyer, Adeola Adedipe, on Wednesday, September 16, 2020, accused Dimokorkus’s claim and demanded that she pay N2bn for giving a false report about his family.
According to the letter titled, ‘Defamation of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode- Re: Femi Fani-Kayode and Precious Chikwendu Part Ways Over Alleged Domestic Violence’, ‘the allegations were spurious and maliciously engineered.’
The statement reads further; “Our client is aggrieved and has instructed us to draw your attention to these libellous 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.”
