Mrs. Ojukwu’s lawyers wrote to Femi Fani Kayode asking him
to apologize and also retract the statement he made in August 27, 2013 claiming
he dated her many years back or face a lawsuit. Bianca said she's never met Femi
Kayode before,either officially or privately!
Here is the letter from Mrs Ojukwu’s lawyer to Femi kayode
“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 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.

Can these two quit this game,they both know what the truth is
He just added salt to injury,foolish man
Apologise,dont be a coward
If Ojukwu were alive,FFK will piss in his trousers for lies that is obvious
Mrs Ojukwu wld have ignored him,silence is the best answer for a fool.
FFK is a toothless bull dog,barking without evidence
Ignore what,next time he will learn not to mess with an igbo woman
O boi see digrace,she never even met him officially how much more privately
What if Femi is saying the truth.Is she not a woman.They love sweet words,maybe when Femi was high with cocain,he let his guard down and worshipped and sweet talked her.There is no smoke without fire.
