Bianca Ojukuwu, wife of the late Eze Ndigbo, Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu has denied ever dating Femi Fani-Kayode as a spinster.
The Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain, who has debunked the claim by the former Minister, described it as false and baseless.
It would be recalled that Fani-Kayode had in a recent article, entitled, “Neither a tribalist nor a hater,” claimed to have met with Bianca when she was still a spinster at the Cambridge College and they both had intimate affair before she eventually met the late Biafran warlord, Ojukwu.
The erstwhile Aviation Minister in the controversial article said, “I was not a tribalist when I had a long-standing and intimate relationship with Bianca Onoh, an Igbo lady, who later married Colonel Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, the leader of Biafra and who is now our Ambassador in Spain.”
Bianca, while reacting to the article through her lawyers, Wall Street Attorneys, threatened to drag Femi Fani-Kayode to court if he fails to retract his ‘libellous publication’ against her in the next seven days.
The letter written by Mrs. Ojukwu’s lawyers reads in parts, “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.’
