Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, has moved to institute legal proceedings against Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, demanding ₦10 billion in damages over allegations connecting him with bribery, murder, and other alleged criminal offences.

The threat was conveyed in a letter dated July 6, 2026, signed by Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Kemi Pinheiro, acting on behalf of Pinheiro LP, the legal firm representing the Chief of Staff.

The letter reads in part, “The publication which has been extensively circulated across several print, electronic and social media platforms and has consequently attracted widespread public attention, contains numerous statements which are not only false, malicious, reckless and entirely without factual foundation, but were clearly designed to portray our client as corrupt, dishonest, criminally culpable, morally bankrupt, administratively incompetent, a murderer and unfit to occupy public office.

“In particular, in your press conference, you falsely alleged, among other things, that our client demanded or requested forty-eight percent (48%) of the alleged take-off grant of an entity described as the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, received the sum of 400,000,000.00 by proxy in connection with appointments relating to the said entity, abused and exploited his office as Chief of Staff to intimidate individuals and media organizations,

“Knowingly participated in fraudulent governmental processes relating to the national budget acted dishonestly and in a manner warranting his resignation from public office sought to manipulate or misuse security agencies against you may have acted under the influence of intoxicating substances in the discharge of his official duties and engaged in conduct suggestive of corruption, abuse of office, criminality and gross misconduct is a murderer, assassin and participated in a criminal cover-up.

“These allegations are not only false but are gravely defamatory. They plainly convey to ordinary, reasonable members of society that our client is corrupt, dishonest, criminally culpable, morally bankrupt, unfit for public office, violent, dangerous and undeserving of public trust.”

Through the letter, Gbajabiamila’s legal team directed Adeyemi to stop making or circulating any additional defamatory statements within 72 hours of receiving the notice.

They also demanded the immediate removal of the disputed press conference and every related publication from all media channels and online platforms under his control.

In addition, the lawyers insisted that Adeyemi publish a complete, unequivocal, and unreserved retraction alongside a formal apology.

According to the demands, the apology must receive the same level of publicity as the original allegations by appearing in at least five national newspapers, all platforms where the claims were published, and every social media account used to circulate the statements.

The legal representatives further requested a written undertaking confirming that no further defamatory remarks would be made against their client.

However, the letter warned that failure to comply with these demands within the specified timeframe would compel them to commence both civil and criminal legal actions.

The proposed proceedings include filing a criminal complaint over alleged criminal defamation under the applicable laws of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), as well as instituting a civil suit seeking ₦10 billion in aggravated and exemplary damages.

The lawyers stated that any damages awarded would be donated to charitable causes selected by Gbajabiamila.

They also disclosed plans to seek a perpetual injunction preventing any future defamatory publications and a mandatory court order compelling Adeyemi to issue a public retraction and apology.

Recall that Adeyemi, during a press conference held on June 25, accused Gbajabiamila of demanding a share of the alleged take-off funds allocated to the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), receiving money through intermediaries, abusing the powers of his office, and participating in efforts to conceal alleged misconduct.
