Fani-Kayode distances self from social media attacks on Grace Bent

Former minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has distanced himself from series of social media posts targeting the family of Senator Grace Bent.

Fani-Kayode, in a letter signed by his counsel, Ibikunle Ayodeji, described the posts as, “Savage” and condemned the act in its entirety.

“We are solicitors to Chief Femi Fani- Kayode. Our attention has been drawn to a series of posts making rounds on the internet. The said posts heavily denigrate the well respected Senator Grace Bent and her entire household” the statement said and. added that the deep-rooted animosity which reflects in the post, can be easily connected to her association with Chief Femi Fani- Kayode.

“For the record however, there is a need to reassert the point that, Senator Grace Bent does not dabble into the home affairs of Chief Femi Fani- Kayode and she has no power to do so. Senator Grace Bent is a mother and grandmother and she has her family to take care of.

“Regardless of their political connections, Senator Grace Bent does not meddle in the private affairs of Chief Femi Fani- Kayode, neither does she volunteer any advice on how he should run his family business.”

The letter further said Chief Femi Fani-Kayode is a man of conviction and he takes full control of what goes on around him and what happens in his family and household, adding that no-one can dictate to him, tell him what to do or manipulate him and neither has Senator Grace Bent or any member of her family tried to do so.

He said, it is unfortunate that the Bent family is being attacked by persons with unknown pedigrees and a disillusioned mindset and that the vicious and libellous slander and falsehood levelled against Senator Bent’s daughter, Jackie B, is particularly repugnant and disgraceful.

“Senator Bent and her husband, Chief Jackson Bent, who is a highly respected retired Army officer and who has served our nation diligently and selflessly, are worthy of double honour and our client will not cease to accord them same, just like every other well- meaning Nigerian.

“In the light of the above, it is important that our client should clear the air on the savage posts, which are not only distracting, but also intended to muddle the waters. The Bents are decent, loving, honorable and law-abiding people who should not be subjected to the kind of wickedness that we are witnessing,” the letter read.
