Senator Folashade Grace Bent has threatened legal action
against Precious Chikwendu, estranged wife of Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation
Minister.
Bent was reacting to Precious’s alleged “malicious content”
on social media against her.
Precious was alleged to have accused Senator Brent of
working with Fani-Kayode to deny her access to her children.
The estranged wife of the former minister also alleged that Brent threatened her life.
Precious had recently walked out of her marriage to
Fani-Kayode over alleged abuse by the former minister.
But Fani-Kayode had denied the allegation while accusing
Precious of cheating on him.
Amid the crisis, Precious allegedly linked Senator Bent to
her marital issues with the former minister.
However, Senator Bent faulted the allegations by Precious,
adding that she has reported to the police.
According to the Senator, a criminal investigation is
ongoing into the allegations Precious raised, adding that assassination claims
are severe.
A statement by Bent’s Public Relations Officer, PRO, Timothy
Williams, reads partly: “As a civil and law abiding citizen of Nigeria, the
distinguished Senator immediately reported the matter to the Police, and
investigation is ongoing.
“For the records, a swift report had to be made to the
relevant enforcement agency, because the publication alleged that the
distinguished Senator was after the life of Ms. Precious Chikwendu.
“This is a very weighty allegation of assassination
tendencies and intendment.
“The publication also alleged that Senator Grace Bent was
out to pervert the course of justice by making efforts at muscling Ms. Precious
Chikwendu to abandon her child custody suit.”
Bent described the allegation by Precious as “another bold
allegation of criminality and disregard for the rule of law”, and she would not
be quiet.
Senator Bent explained that she only interfered in the
crisis twice, hence her decision to report Precious’ allegation to the police.
“Lastly the publication falsely alleged that the
distinguished Senator is on an errand for Chief Femi Fani-Kayode and that they
will together abusively activate the machineries of enforcement agencies
against Miss Precious Chikwendu.
“Senator Bent is a mother to many and a grandmother who
appreciates family values and mutual respect for all and sundry.
“Her interface with Precious is not in any way significant,
and is limited to about only two occasions.
“This is the more reason it became imperative to lodge the
complaint, because the suggestion that the Senator wants to murder her is
dangerous, inexplicable and unfathomable.
“Finally, Senator Bent is consulting with her team of
lawyers and will not hesitate to seek appropriate redress against the wrongs
meted against her, both in law and equity,” the statement read.
Efforts to reach Precious failed as she was unreachable, and
a text message sent to her mobile contact was not acknowledged.
