Businessman and social commentator Isaac Fayose has threatened legal action against a woman who accused him of rape and torture, demanding that she withdraw the allegations and issue a public apology within three days.
Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, issued the warning through his lawyers following allegations circulated on social media by a woman identified as Queen of Abuja, also known as Alexandria Alexander.
The woman had, in a series of posts on Threads on Sunday, accused Fayose of raping and torturing her and her three-year-old son, claiming that the alleged incidents began in May 2026.
She also threatened to release evidence to support her claims, challenging the businessman to respond publicly to the allegations.
In response, Fayose’s legal representatives issued a pre-action notice dated November 8, 2026, giving the woman three days to retract the publications or face legal proceedings.
The notice, signed by Nzedebe Chinonso Paul, principal partner of the law firm representing Fayose, described the allegations as defamatory and damaging to his client’s personal and business reputation.
According to the lawyers, Fayose became aware of the allegations after receiving messages from friends and acquaintances informing him that his name was circulating widely on social media.
They argued that the publications had exposed their client to public ridicule and affected his reputation as a businessman and social commentator.
The legal team demanded that the woman immediately remove the allegations from her social media accounts and ensure that bloggers and other platforms that had circulated the claims also withdraw them.
The lawyers further insisted on an unreserved public apology, warning that failure to comply within the three-day period would leave their client with no option but to pursue legal remedies.
They said possible steps could include a civil action and a petition to the appropriate authorities for investigation and possible prosecution.
In a separate development, Fayose has also petitioned the Inspector-General of Police over the matter, accusing the woman of cyberbullying, criminal defamation, blackmail and victimisation.
The petition, also dated November 8, called for police intervention and an investigation into the allegations and the circumstances surrounding their publication.
Fayose’s legal action has shifted the dispute from social media exchanges towards possible civil and criminal proceedings, although the rape and torture allegations have not been independently established.
The woman’s allegations and Fayose’s denial through his legal representatives remain competing claims, with the possibility of further investigation or court action depending on the next steps taken by the parties.
The development has drawn attention to the legal consequences of serious allegations made on social media, particularly where claims involving criminal conduct are publicly circulated before any formal investigation or judicial determination.
Neither the pre-action notice nor the petition establishes the truth or otherwise of the allegations. The matter remains unresolved.
