The police have invited Precious Chikwendu, ex-wife of former aviation minister Femi Fani-Kayode, for questioning in an alleged case of “criminal intimidation, blackmail, defamation of character and malicious publication”.
A letter to that effect was dated August 2, 2021 and signed by DCP Dayo Ariyo, a deputy commissioner of police (admin) on behalf of the inspector general of police.
Ms Chikwendu is to be interviewed by DSP Funmilayo Eguaoje on Wednesday at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, according to the letter.
The former beauty queen, in an Instagram post on Wednesday, accused Fani-Kayode and a close friend of his, Senator Grace Bent, of using the police to intimidate her.
She wrote alongside the letter, “So these two, think they would use the police that is meant for all of us to intimidate me? Jokers. Mr Fani-Kayode and Grace Bent, you would tell me what these show of power is all about if not for my kids . If you had any shame you would sit with my lawyers and straighten issues. It’s a shame we got to this bridge.”
Chikwendu and Fani-Kayode have been involved in a messy fight since their union ended last year on allegations of domestic violence among others.
The duo is also locked in a legal battle for the custody of their four sons.
