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

Bianca Ojukwu's lawyers have written a letter to Femi
Fani Kayode asking him to apologize and also retract
the statement he made a few weeks ago claiming he
dated her many years back. In the letter, Bianca said
she's never met FFK before! Choi! Femi has responded
to the letter, which was published in Thisday today.
Read the letter from Bianca's lawyers below and
Femi's response after the cut.
“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.”
Chief Femi Fani Kayode has response via his
spokesperson - Mr Bisi Lawal
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 have 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 Cheif 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 embarass 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 jus

Kayode
