Isaac Fayose Issues Three-Day Ultimatum Over Rape, Torture Allegations
Isaac Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, has issued a three-day ultimatum to a woman identified as Queen of Abuja to retract rape and torture allegations levelled against him or face legal action. The demand 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 published by the account queenofabuja on Sunday, in which the woman 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.
Lawyers Detail the Grievance
According to the pre-action notice, Fayose woke up to messages from friends and acquaintances informing him that his name was trending on social media over the allegations. The lawyers 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 legal team described the publications as defamatory and damaging to their client’s reputation, stating that they had exposed him 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, citing 808 likes, 191 comments and 890 saves on one of the publications.
Questions Raised Over Reference to Minor
In the notice, the lawyers questioned the woman’s reference to her three-year-old son in the allegations. “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 asked. 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.”
Demand for Retraction and Apology
The lawyers demanded that the woman retract the publications and issue an unreserved apology within three days, insisting that the withdrawal should also extend to bloggers and other social media accounts that had circulated the allegations. “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 stated.
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.
Allegations Remain Unverified
The rape and torture allegations have not been independently verified, and no official findings establishing their veracity were provided in the materials available. As of the publication of the pre-action notice, neither Fayose nor his legal representatives had addressed the substance of the claims beyond describing them as defamatory and malicious. The matter now rests on whether the woman complies with the three-day demand or whether the dispute proceeds to litigation and possible investigation by the appropriate authorities.
