Senator Grace Bent reacts to Precious Chikwendu’s claim that she and FFK are using the police to intimidate her

Senator Grace Bent has released a statement reacting to claims made by Precious Chkwendu, ex-beauty queen and ex-wife of former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode.

RNN news recall that Precious took to her Instagram page on Wednesday, August 4, to call out FFK and Bent accusing them of using the police to intimidate her

She also shared a photo of a letter from the police inviting her for questioning at the Force Criminal Investigation Department Abuja. According to the letter, she is being investigated in a case of criminal intimidation, blackmail, defamation of character and malicious publication.

Senator Bent, however, reacting to the claims in a statement released by her Spokesperson, Timothy Williams, said a publication was making the rounds on social media in which Precious alleged that she was after her life and that she (Bent), had to report the matter to the police as the allegation is very weighty. She added that she is consulting with her team of lawyers and will not hesitate to seek appropriate redress against the wrongs meted against her, both in law and equity.

Her statement in part reads;

“Precious Chikwendu’s malicious attempt to defame Senator Grace Folashade Bent CON.

“Permit me to thank family, friends, honourable and distinguished members of the parliament, concerned Nigerians and the general public, who have made spirited and frantic solidarity efforts, to stand by Senator Grace Folashade Bent, on the occasion of a recent publication, which was patently intended to defame and denigrate her.

“This publication, which was at the behest of one Ms Precious Chikwendu has been making rounds on the internet and diverse social media platforms.
As a civil and law-abiding citizen of Nigeria, the distinguished Senator immediately reported the matter to the Police, and an investigation is ongoing.

“For the records, a swift report had to be made to the relevant enforcement agency, because the publication alleged that the distinguished Senator was after the life of Ms Precious Chikwendu. This is a very weighty allegation of assassination tendencies and intendment.”
