Fani-Kayode threatens Lai Mohammed with N5bn libel suit

             Director of Media and Publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation (PDPPCO), Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has demanded a retraction of an alleged libellous statement against him, in a national newspaper by the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
               Reacting to the report entitled: “We’re concerned about Fani-Kayode’s mental status,” the former Aviation Minister said every allegation against him in the publication was false and defamatory of his person.
In a three-page letter by his lawyers, Ahmed Raji and Company, dated March 3, 2015, Fani-Kayode demanded a retraction of the publication and an apology by Mohammed within seven days.
The letter signed by Mr. Whyteman Prekunomaa said: “You (Lai Mohammed) are also to enter into negotiation for damages as we have firm instructions to claim N5billion damages against you.
“Take notice, therefore, that it will amount to a specious gamble on your part, if you treat this letter with levity.”
