Femi Fani Kayode (FFK’s) ex-wife, Precious Chikwendu, has been reportedly detained by the police in Abuja after visiting the Force Headquarters in honour of an invite.

The development was disclosed by Child Rights activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, Wednesday night when in a post on Facebook where he claimed that Precious was held after going to the Force CID Area 10, Abuja.

The estranged wife of the former aviation minister, had in August 1, told a Court of Appeal in Abuja that her former husband lacks the capacity to cater for their four children.

She also demanded a monthly payment of N3.5 million for the upkeep of their four sons, while alleging that Fani-Kayode, “beat her up on several occasions even while she was pregnant”.

Also, earlier in the week, Precious had through her Instagram page alleged that a former Senator, Grace Bent, and FFK are trying to muscle her from taking custody of her children, a statement which has been strongly denied by the serving senator.

“So these two, think they would use the police that is meant for all of us to intimidate me?

“Jokers. Mr Fani-Kayode and Grace Bent, you would tell me what this show of power is all about if not for my kids. If you had any shame, you would sit with my lawyers and straighten issues. It’s a shame we got to this bridge,” she posted.

However, in a police invitation letter dated August 2, and titled, ‘Investigation Activities Police Invitation Letter’, the police requested Precious to make herself available at the Force station.

Raising the alarm of Precious’s detainment, Gwamnishu wrote, “I spoke to Precious Chikwendu this morning and she told me she’s going to honor Police invitation. I immediately reached out to Tracy Mcwary to follow up and ensure she get (sic) all necessary support.

“She has been detained by police, courtesy Femi Fani-Kayode who has continued to deny her access to her kids. For those of you saying back off, Precious is my friend and there is no way Harrison will back off.

“A mother needs her children and that’s all seek #FreePrecious.”
