A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has demanded that the management of Media Trust Limited (publishers of Daily Trust and other publications) enter into a negotiation with him for possible settlement of N6bn for defamation of character.

Fani-Kayode said this in a letter addressed to the Managing Director of Daily Trust, dated August 31, 2020 and titled, ‘Defamation of the character of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode by Iliyasu Gadu.’ The letter, which was signed by the former minister’s lawyer, Adeola Adesipe, was in response to an article titled, ‘FFK, the Drug Addled Thug in Designer Wears’ dated August 30, 2020 and published by the medium.

In the article, which was published in the newspaper, the writer lambasted Fani-Kayode for his conduct during a Press conference in which he described a Daily Trust reporter in Calabar, Eyo Charles, as ‘stupid’ after the journalist asked question about the identity of persons “bankrolling” his current tour of southern states. Gadu, the writer of the article, claimed that Fani-Kayode, who attended Cambridge University, was once “a drug addict” and had sought rehabilitation in Ghana, but “till today has not been cured of the habit.”

In his pre-litigation letter, however, Fani-Kayode described the article as libelous and demanded an apology from the newspaper, which must be published in other national dailies. The former minister also demanded that negotiation be entered into for possible payment of N6bn due to the irreparable loss the article had caused him.

It reads in part, “Be aware that our client has not only suffered immeasurable loss of goodwill, he is currently confronted with unbearable opprobrium by his fans, followers and colleagues across the globe. Our client is alive to his rights both in law and equity but is disposed to an opportunity to undo the evil you have done by retracting the said insalubrious remarks on the same platform it was published and apologising to him in two other national dailies.

“You are also advised to enter into negotiations with us for the sum of N6bn being a token amount for penitence as opposed to the magnitude of infraction caused to our client’s nobility.” The newspaper was given 14 days to comply or face legal action. Fani-Kayode also wrote a similar letter to Gadu, who authored the article.

The former minister drew the ire of several Nigerians recently after a viral video showed him talking down at a journalist, an incident he has apologised for. However, the Nigeria Union of Journalists, as well as many other civil organisations, have continued to criticise Fani-Kayode, while many reporters have boycotted his ongoing tour of the southern states.

By publishing this punch is still giving him attention. They should just make this man media dead, he will beg on his knees.

To make a man media dead is easy in saner climes. Everybody go unfriend am on facebook or unfollow am on other handles.
If he post zero views or comments
No one reports about him. He will simply not exist.
Note... In saner climes.
In naija person go still go "evening sir my name is manna I grill BBQ.Please help me sir I haven't eaten for 600years"

Dr Odumegu Gbajabiamala believes that FFK is a big baby. An adult that have refused to grow up. He was born with a silver spoon and he's never felt the heat on the streets, reason for his pompousness. The Dr hopes that FFK is not a narcissist.

Akuko
FFK should go and sir down abeg.
For all I know he has been defaming Buhari's character and no one has asked his to pay for defamation of character.
I keep saying this Buhari is a bad market but surely Atiku and co are worst.

The worse days of FFK.

Now I strongly believe the Journalist who asked him that bankroll question was carefully on a Mission.

The owner of daily trust though’. If u know! U know...

ManOfCompetence:
FFK is really high on drugs...Go through his Facebook or Twitter timeline and see the same derogatory articles he has written on prominent individuals in Nigeria .... Though I feel he deserves an apology from daily trust the same way he apologized to the journalist he insulted
