Former aviation minister Femi Fani-Kayode has written a pre-litigation letter to blogger Stella Dimokorkus, demanding N2 billion from her for claiming the separation was due to domestic violence, Igbere TV reports.
Mr Fani-Kayode married Precious Chikwendu in 2014. They welcomed a son in 2016 and a set of triplet in 2018.
The blogger claimed the triplet sons may not have been fathered by Fani-Kayode as they were conceived through IVF and Chikwendu had demanded a DNA test, Igbere reports on Thursday.
The ex-minister wrote the letter dated September 16 through his lawyer Adeola Adedipe.
Fani-Kayode denied retrieving the car he bought for his estranged wife and that he had left her broke.
“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,” part of the letter read.
“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.”
