Lawyers representing businessman, Isaac Fayose, have given a woman known online as “Queen of Abuja” three days to retract rape allegations against him, according to legal documents obtained by This Dawn News.
A pre-action notice dated November 8 accuses her of publishing claims of rape and torture on social media, which the lawyers describe as defamatory.
The letter demands an unconditional retraction and apology, and warns that civil proceedings and a petition to relevant authorities may follow.
The allegations have not been independently verified, and the notice represents Fayose’s legal team’s position rather than a court finding.
What the Pre-Action Notice by Fayose Says
The letter, issued by C-P Nzedebe & Co, says the firm is acting for Fayose and writing on his instructions.
It identifies the recipient as Miss Alexandria, also known as “Queen of Abuja,” and refers to posts shared on Instagram.
According to the lawyers, the posts accused Fayose of rape and torture, including allegations involving the recipient’s three-year-old son.
The notice also refers to an audio recording attributed to a blogger identified as Cutie___Juls, which allegedly repeated an accusation against Fayose.
The legal team says the posts gained substantial online engagement and harmed its client’s reputation and public image.
It cites figures of 808 likes, 191 comments and 890 saves on one publication, alongside engagement on the recipient’s own account.
Those engagement numbers are claims made in the letter and have not been independently confirmed.
The notice asks for the posts to be removed from the recipient’s account and from other accounts that shared them.
Fayose shared the letter on Instagram on Monday, November 9, summarising the notice and the online allegations.
Three-Day Deadline and Possible Legal Action by Fayose
Fayose, through his lawyers, demanded an immediate retraction and an “unreserved apology” within three days of the notice.
They say the withdrawal should cover the original posts and any bloggers or personal accounts that carried the allegations.
The letter warns that failure to comply could prompt civil action and a petition requesting investigation and possible prosecution.
It also urges the recipient to stop publishing further material that the lawyers consider damaging to their client.
A pre-action notice communicates a potential claimant’s demands before possible court proceedings; it does not establish that a lawsuit has been filed.
The document itself does not show that a court has reviewed the allegations or determined their truth.
Nor does it establish that police or another authority has opened an investigation or reached any conclusion.
The letter’s references to reputational damage and lost followers are arguments advanced by Fayose’s legal team.
The allegations concerning Fayose and the child remain allegations, and no independent findings establishing them were provided in the notice.
Allegations and Responses
The notice says the recipient published accusations that Fayose raped and tortured her, and also referred to her young son.
The lawyers challenge that reference to the child and describe the publications as malicious, but those characterisations are the client’s position.
The recipient’s social media accusations, as quoted in the notice, say she has evidence and wants Fayose to face consequences.
Those claims have not been independently verified, and the letter does not include supporting evidence or a response from the recipient.
Fayose’s legal representatives deny the allegations in substance by calling them defamatory and without basis.
The dispute is unfolding publicly through social media posts and legal correspondence, with the notice seeking to move the matter toward formal channels.
An effective account of the claims would require evidence and responses from the parties, not online engagement figures alone.
The notice does not provide enough information to determine what evidence either side may present if the dispute reaches court.
What Happens Next
The three-day period set out in the letter begins from the date of service, though the notice’s text does not establish when it was received.
The document warns of possible civil proceedings and a petition to appropriate authorities if the demands are not met.
It does not confirm that either step has since been taken or that an authority has begun formal proceedings.
A separate report says lawyers to Fayose also petitioned the Inspector-General of Police over the dispute, describing the alleged petition.
Any investigation or court process would need to assess the underlying claims and evidence independently.
For now, the public record includes the accusations attributed to the social media account and the legal team’s demand for retraction.
Neither the allegations nor the notice alone resolves the underlying dispute.
