Femi Fani-Kayode responds to Bianca Ojukwu's threats to sue him

Bianca Ojukwu threatened to sue Femi Fani-Kayode for claiming he had an 'intimate' relationship with her when she was single. In a letter written by Bianca's lawyers, Fani-Kayode was given 7 days to "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" or face a lawsuit. 
Femi Fani-Kayode has sent out a press statement in response to that. Read it below...

 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 thatthey 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 just leave it at that.
