Femi Fani Kayode responds to Bianca Ojukwu's threat to sue him!

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has replied Bianca Ojukwu over her threat to sue him, if he fails to retract his ‘libellous publication’ about her within seven days.


 Mrs. Ojukwu had on friday morning vowed to drag Fani-Kayode to court for claiming to have dated her as a spinster in an article published by Fani-Kayode few weeks ago, in an attempt to exonerate himself of being tribalistic over the Lagos deportation saga.

Reacting to Bianca’s threat, Fani-Kayode in a statement made available through his Press Secretary, Mr. Bisi Lawal said the matter has since been referred to his lawyers who will now take it up. The statement reads, “This morning Cheif Femi Fani-Kayode woke up to find a letter that was published as an advertorial in Thisday Newspaper purportedly by Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu’s lawyer threatening to sue him for mentioning her in his article and claiming that she has never met him before. She also said that he was being malicious. The matter has of course been reffered to Chief Fani-Kayode’s lawyers who will now take it up. 

“Ordinarily, he would not have said a word about this matter because he sympathises with her for whatever she may have been going through. 

“However, now that she has put it in the public realm, Chief Fani-Kayode is compelled to formally respond. To the assertion that he never knew her and that they were never friends, he says this is false and he asks why would he lie? The public evidence is to the contrary. Chief Fani-Kayode would not want to say anything to embarrass her because that would be ungentlemanly."
"He sympathises with her delicate situation and once again he expresses his regrets about the fact that his statement about her was misconstrued. We shall just leave it at that,” the statement added.

It was gathered however that Fani-Kayode has enough proofs regarding his relationship with former beauty Queen and may be forced to roll them out should the case go beyond this stage.


Bianca Ojukwu was married to the late Biafran war lord Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojwukwu.
