Police Arrest Fani-Kayode’s Ex-wife, Precious After Honouring Invitation

Precious Chikwendu, a former beauty queen and estranged wife of former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has been arrested and detained by the police in the Federal Capital Territory.

A human rights activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, in a Facebook post on Wednesday nights disclosed that Precious was detained after honouring an invitation by the Force CID, Area 10 in Abuja.

This followed allegations of criminal intimidation, blackmail, deflation of character, and malicious publication by Fani-Kayode against his ex-wife, according to the police invitation letter sighted by SaharaReporters.

Gwamnishu wrote, “I spoke to Precious Chikwendu this morning and she told me she’s going to honor Police invitation. I immediately reached out to Tracy Mcwary to follow up and ensure she get (sic) all necessary support.

“She has been detained by police, courtesy Femi Fani-Kayode who has continued to deny her access to her kids. For those of you saying back off, Precious is my friend and there is no way Harrison will back off.

“A mother needs her children and that’s all seek #FreePrecious.”

Precious on Wednesday in an Instagram post accused Fani-Kayode and a close friend of his, Senator Grace Bent, of using the police to intimidate her.

The former beauty queen also shared a photo of a letter from the police inviting her for questioning at the Force Criminal Investigation Department Abuja.

“So these two, think they would use the police that is meant for all of us to intimidate me? Jokers. Mr. Fani-Kayode and Grace Bent, you would tell me what this show of power is all about if not for my kids. If you had any shame, you would sit with my lawyers and straighten issues. It’s a shame we got to this bridge,” she said.

Precious and the former Minister have been locked in a child-custody battle following their break-up in August 2020.

Fani-Kayode, who had three marriages before meeting Precious with whom he has four sons, including a set of two-year-old triplets, accused her of infidelity.
