Isaac Fayose Petitions IGP Over Alleged Rape, Torture Claims by Queen of Abuja, Demands Retraction or Legal Action

Businessman and social commentator Isaac Fayose has petitioned the Inspector General of Police over allegations of cyberbullying, criminal defamation, blackmail and victimisation by a woman identified as Alexandria, popularly known as Queen of Abuja.

The petition, dated November 8, 2026, was filed through his lawyers, who accused the woman of publishing claims that Fayose raped and tortured her and her three-year-old son.

Fayose announced the move on his Instagram handle on Monday with a caption warning: “I am giving you 2 3 days, or you face court action”.

The legal team described the publications as defamatory and damaging to their client’s reputation, insisting the allegations lacked substance and evidence.

They urged the Inspector General of Police to intervene, investigate the matter and take appropriate action against the woman and anyone allegedly involved.

The dispute followed a series of posts by Queen of Abuja on Threads on Sunday, in which she accused Fayose of raping and torturing her and her son 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.

Fayose’s lawyers, in a pre-action notice dated Sunday, November 8, 2026, and signed by the principal partner of the law firm, Nzedebe Chinonso Paul, demanded an immediate retraction and an unreserved apology within three days.

The notice stated: “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 lawyers also questioned the woman’s reference to her three-year-old son, stating: “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? 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”.

They warned that failure to comply would lead to legal action, including “taking a civil action and a petition to the appropriate authority for investigation and possible prosecution”.

In a video shared on his verified Facebook page on Sunday, Fayose denied the rape allegation, describing it as an attempt to destroy his reputation because of his political position.

He alleged that he was being targeted because of his support for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, and claimed that individuals who rejected political offers from the All Progressives Congress could become targets of coordinated attacks.

As of the time of the report, there was no publicly confirmed response from the police regarding the petition or confirmation that Alexandria had been arrested.

The allegations have not been independently verified, and no official findings establishing their veracity were provided in the materials available.
