Former House of Representatives Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila's legal team has issued a 72-hour ultimatum demanding that Adeyemi retract public statements deemed false and defamatory. If not retracted, Gbajabiamila intends to pursue a N10 billion defamation suit and prosecution, according to a letter from his lawyers.
The notice, addressed to Adeyemi, calls for a public apology and full retraction of the allegations. Gbajabiamila’s legal representatives cited damage to their client’s reputation and affirmed their readiness to commence legal proceedings if the demands are not met within the stipulated period.
The threat of litigation centers on claims made by Adeyemi, who is referred to in media reports as a controversial figure. Premium Times reported that Gbajabiamila’s team accused Adeyemi of making unsubstantiated allegations warranting both civil and criminal consequences.
This Day further disclosed that, should the lawsuit proceed, the damages sought—N10 billion—would be directed to charities selected by Gbajabiamila. The development underscores heightened sensitivity around public statements involving prominent political figures.
The deadline for compliance is set at 72 hours from the issuance of the legal notice. No public response from Adeyemi has been reported as of the latest update.
