Withdraw rape claims or face me in court, Fayose tells woman

Fayose’s lawyers have demanded that the woman withdraw the allegations and issue an unconditional apology within three days or face a lawsuit and possible criminal investigation.

The demand was contained in a pre-action notice dated November 8, 2026, and signed by Nzedebe Chinonso Paul, principal partner of the law firm. Fayose shared the document on his Instagram page on Monday.

The legal threat followed a series of posts by the woman on Threads, in which she accused Fayose of repeatedly raping and torturing her and her son since May 2026. She also claimed to possess evidence to support her allegations.

However, Fayose’s lawyers dismissed the publications as defamatory, arguing that they had damaged their client’s reputation and exposed him to public ridicule.

They also demanded that the woman ensure the allegations were withdrawn from other social media platforms and accounts that had republished them.

The lawyers warned that failure to comply within the stipulated three days would leave them with no option but to institute civil proceedings and petition relevant authorities for investigation and possible prosecution.

The allegations have not been independently verified, and no official findings have been presented to establish their truth.
