In a letter sent to Adeyanju, Obiโs lawyer, Alex Ejesieme (SAN), accused the activist of spreading false and malicious statements against his client, portraying him as corrupt, fraudulent, and a religious bigot.
According to Obiโs legal team, Adeyanjuโs posts, which date back to 2022, sought to tarnish Obiโs reputation both locally and internationally.
Some of the claims included allegations that Obi diverted Anambra State funds into family businesses, attempted to bribe Adeyanju after a private meeting, and used religion to manipulate voters during the 2023 presidential campaign.

Obiโs legal team demanded that Adeyanju immediately delete all defamatory posts, issue a public apology across his social media platforms, and publish apologies in three national dailies.

Deji Adeyanju has responded, saying heโs ready to meet Obi in court.
