Former Minister of Aviation Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has reacted to allegations of assault against his estranged wife Precious Chikwendu.
Fani-Kayode spoke via a statement on Saturday in response to a viral video published by an online news site SaharaReporters in which he was shown as assaulting his wife.
“SharaReporters posted a video which supposedly depicts me ABUSING my estranged wife. This is nothing but a propaganda video. There was NO physical abuse.
“I simply took the phone from her to stop her from recording me after catching her in bed with a married man days earlier.
“I repeat there was NO physical abuse whatsoever and she had been insulting and subjecting everybody, including family members, staff and children, to PHYSICAL and VERBAL abuse the whole day. As usual, it was a nightmare.
“My words in the video are self explanatory. I urge those thet watched it to listen to those words carefully.
“I told her that everyone wanted peace except for her and all she did was indulge in scandal after scandal. I have NEVER physically abused my estranged wife,” the former minister said in the statement.
Precious has yet to speak on the alleged assault.
Dateline Nigeria reports that Femi Fani-Kayode has been going from one scandal to the other of recent, from his controversial appointment as Sadaukin Shinkafi, which led to the resignation of four title holders, to his verbal assault against a journalist in Calabar.
