Younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, Isaac Fayose, has given a woman identified as Queen of Abuja three days to retract rape and torture allegations against him or face legal action.

Fayose’s lawyers described the allegations as defamatory and damaging to their client’s reputation, demanding an immediate withdrawal of the publications and an unreserved apology.

This was contained in a pre-action notice dated Sunday, November 8, 2026, signed by the principal partner of the law firm, Nzedebe Chinonso Paul, and shared by Fayose on his Instagram page on Monday.

The notice followed a series of Threads posts by queenofabuja on Sunday, in which she accused Fayose of raping and torturing her and her three-year-old son, alleging that the incidents had occurred from May 2026.

In one of the posts, she wrote, “Isaac Fayosee u must face the consequences of ur crimes against me u will be arrested. I have all my evidence. U raped me, tortured me and my son who is just 3 years old from may till date.”

She also claimed to have shared evidence with him and threatened further disclosures on Monday, November 9.

However, Fayose’s lawyers, in the notice, said their client woke up to messages from friends and acquaintances about his name trending on social media over the allegations.

They quoted one of the circulating audio statements as saying, “Fayose raped me, and he cannot even deny it because I am even cool, am even cool and he cannot deny it, I can fucking proof it.”

The lawyers described the publications as defamatory, stating that they had exposed their client to “serious damages on his name, image and person as a business mogul and public defender.”

They further claimed that the allegations had attracted widespread engagement on social media, including 808 likes, 191 comments and 890 saves on one of the publications.

Questioning the woman’s reference to her three-year-old son in the allegations, the lawyers stated, “Assuming and not conceding to the allegation of raping and torturing you in any form by our client, was your son raped and tortured as well?”

They added, “What has our client got to do with your three-year-old son that you mentioned in your malicious publication? You can reserve your answer.”

The lawyers demanded that she retract the publications and issue an apology within three days, insisting that the withdrawal should also extend to bloggers and other social media accounts that had circulated the allegations.

They stated, “We have the immediate instructions of our client to demand for the immediate and unconditional retraction of the defamatory and malicious publication with an unreserved apology to our client WITHIN THREE (3) DAYS.”

The notice further warned that failure to comply with the demand would lead to legal action.

“TAKE NOTICE that should you fail to retract and withdraw the said malicious publication on or before the three days’ time limit, we shall resort to any possible legal means that includes and not limited to, taking a civil action and a petition to the appropriate authority for investigation and possible prosecution,” the lawyers said.

The rape and torture allegations have not been independently verified, and no official findings establishing their veracity were provided in the materials available.
