Bianca Ojukwu denies relationship with fani-kayode.

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, 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.”
