Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu,
has described as false the claim by former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi
Fani-Kayode, that she was his girlfriend when she was a spinster.
Fani-Kayode had in his
article, entitled: “Neither a tribalist nor a hater,” published in the social
media and some segments of the national dailies (not The Sun), claimed to have
met with Bianca when she was Miss Bianca Onoh at the Cambridge College and had
“intimate” relationship with her together with two other Igbo ladies.
Reacting to this,
Bianca said she had never met Fani-Kayode before, either at official or
private level, not to talk of having an “intimate” relationship with him.
The ambassador, who
spoke through her lawyers, Wall Street Attorneys, has, therefore, threatened to
drag the former aide to ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo to court if, in the next
seven days, he fails to retract his libelous publication against her.
In the letter from her
lawyers to Fani-Kayode, dated August 27, 2013 and signed by Mike Ugwuanyi, Esq,
Mrs. Ojukwu demanded that the former minister writes an apology and retraction
of the said libelous publication in The Sun and Thisday newspapers, as well as
publish it in the online publication, where it emanated, in the next seven days
or face litigation.
The letter written by
Mrs. Ojukwu’s lawyers and obtained by The Sun read in part: “We have been
briefed and our services retained by Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu, Nigeria’s Ambassador
to Spain to demand from you an unreserved apology and a retraction of a false
and malicious statement, which you published online and also caused to be
published in the Leadership Newspaper of August 16, 2013.
“In the said article
entitled, ‘Neither a Tribalist nor a Hater,’ you recklessly alleged, as
follows: ‘I was not a tribalist when I had a long standing and intimate
relationship with Miss Bianca Onoh…’, a statement, which you know is untrue and
unfounded, but only calculated to lower our client’s esteem and damage her
national and international reputation.
“Our client has never
met you, does not know you in person and has never had any official or private
relationship with you how much more ‘a long-standing and intimate
relationship.’
“Our client is
therefore, outraged by your bizarre and scandalous allegation and the numerous
mails and telephone calls she has received from friends, relations and admirers
who are equally embarrassed and who seek to confirm the veracity or otherwise
of your false and reckless publication.
“Your apparent lame
and half-hearted attempt, as published in the Leadership Newspaper of 17th
August 2013, to clarify your false and malicious allegation falls far short of
a retraction and does not sufficiently address the damage to our client arising
from the widespread dissemination of your false publication and is therefore
unacceptable to our client.
“In the circumstances,
we demand, on the instruction of our client that you submit to her a clear and
unqualified apology and retraction published in The Sun and Thisday newspapers
in addition to having the retraction published online.
“Take note that should
you fail to tender the apology and publish a retraction of your false and
malicious publication, seven days next after your receipt of this demand notice,
our further instructions are to seek appropriate redress in court. And that
shall be without further recourse to you. Be properly guided.”

Pls d FG shld not give such man an appointment in d future. I tot he claimed to be well educated, what hind of educated man in his senses would behave like he did.

He is a fool 4 acting d way he did.
ReplyDeleteFOR YOUR INFORMATION, HE IS NOT SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF ALL YORUBAS. I CANNOT IMAGINE ANY GENTLEMAN FROM OUR TRIBE PUBLISHING NAMES OF WOMEN HE CLAIMED HE HAD INTIMATE(SEXUAL) RELATIONS WITH. ONLY FOOLS DO THAT.

DeleteThe onus is on mr fani kayode to proove to his followers dt he was not talking out of his anus or a drug induced state. When he apologised for mentioning names, I suspected he was shifty. Till now he has not responded to the article of an igbo scholar who tore down his write up with facts n figures neither did CKN publish it
