Chief Femi Fani Kayode , former Aviation Minister, told a Federal High Court Abuja, that he had never threatened the life of Precious Chikwendu, his estranged wife and the mother of his children.
He said it was Precious that walked away from the house and refused to return, despite all entreaties for her to come and see her children.
His claim was contained in a counter affidavit he personally deposed before the court in opposition to the fundamental rights enforcement suit filed by Precious Chikwendu.
He added:”On threat to life and peaceful existence, prompted by exposed adultery” Fani Kayode stated, “She is the person who consistently threatens to kill me and the children, even when she is not provoked”.
“The applicant (Precious) puts my life at risk and that of the children, anytime she realized I had discovered her un-repented sexual escapades, either at attempts of such on my men staff, or the actual acts in which she was caught pants down with a man or men” Kayode averred.
“A related incidence occurred sometime in December 2019, when the Applicant was caught in the act of adultery with one Naval Officer (Lt. CDR Idenyi) in a hotel located at NAF Valley Estate Asokoro- Abuja;
“This discovery was made because I ensure adequate security watch over my family, for reasons connected to my political involvements; and the fact that my security guards were apprehensive that the Applicant was constantly visiting dark and blacklisted places, which were not good for her safety”.
“This adultery incidence was reported to the Police and the Naval officer confessed to it; that she misled him, claiming she was a single woman;
“The matter was recommended for prosecution, but I pleaded with the Police to step it down, in order to avoid further embarrassments. A certified true copy of the Police Report is shown to me and marked Exhibit J” Fani Kayode deposed in his counter affidavit.
He said it was immediately after this incidence that the Applicant became more hostile, aggressive and threatened to kill her kids”.
Precious Chikwendu, is praying for an order of court directing Fani Kayode to pay her the sum of N800million as damages.
