Stella Dimokorkus, a Nigerian blogger reported that Fani-Kayode and wife, Precious Chikwendu separated due to domestic violence and alleged that the former Minister Of Aviation did not father the triplets from the marriage.
In a letter ‘Defamation of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode- Re: Femi Fani-Kayode and Precious Chikwendu Part Ways Over Alleged Domestic Violence’, signed by his lawyer, Mr. Adeola Adedipe, dated September 16, 2020, the former minister described the report as preposterous.
He denied the domestic violence allegations and the news that he had forcefully retrieved the car he bought for Precious Chikwendu.
The letter reads; “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.
“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.”
Some members of the family confirmed their separation and informed the news agencies that there had never been a record of violence in their marriage.
