“Retract or Face Court”: Isaac Fayose Gives Queen of Abuja Three Days

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

The lawsuit threat was issued in a statement on Sunday, in which he denied the allegations and described them as an attempt to damage his reputation, ValidViewNetwork reports.

THE ALLEGATION

Queen of Abuja had taken to social media to accuse Isaac Fayose of rape and torture, allegations that quickly spread across platforms and generated significant public attention.

She claimed that the incidents occurred at a time and place that Fayose has not publicly confirmed or denied.

THE RESPONSE

Fayose denied the allegations in strong terms, describing them as false and defamatory.

He said he had instructed his lawyers to take legal action if the allegations were not retracted within three days. “I will not sit back and allow anyone to destroy my name with lies. If she does not retract the allegations and apologise within three days, I will see her in court,” he said.

THE ANALYTICAL LENS

The allegations against Isaac Fayose are serious. Rape and torture are criminal offences that carry severe penalties. If the allegations are true, the victim deserves justice. If they are false, Fayose deserves to clear his name.

The problem is that social media has become a court of public opinion, where allegations are tried and convictions are secured before any evidence is presented.

For the accused, the damage to reputation can be irreversible. For the accuser, the risk of retaliation and further trauma is real.

The three-day ultimatum is a legal strategy. It gives the accuser an opportunity to retract and apologise, avoiding a protracted court battle. But it also raises the stakes. If she does not retract, the case will go to court, where the truth will be determined by evidence, not by social media posts.

The allegations have been made. The denial has been issued. The ultimatum has been given. And the truth will be decided by the law. ValidViewNetwork reports.
