Businessman and social media commentator, Prince Isaac Fayose, has instituted a N220 million defamation suit against Abuja-based Instagram personality Alexandra Alexander, popularly known as Queen of Abuja, over allegations that he raped and tortured her and her three-year-old son.

Fayose is also seeking a public apology in three national newspapers and a perpetual injunction restraining Alexander from making further statements against him.

In court documents obtained by NEWSNGR on Friday, Fayose described the allegations as false, malicious and defamatory, claiming they had damaged his reputation, integrity and public image.

The suit followed a social media publication allegedly made by Alexander on November 8, 2026, in which she accused Fayose of raping and torturing her and her young son.

In his written statement on oath, Fayose described himself as a businessman and social media commentator with more than 610,000 followers across Instagram, Facebook and X.

He claimed that he had built his online presence through discussions on issues affecting Nigeria’s social, infrastructural and economic development.

In the affidavit, Fayose stated:

“That I am the Claimant in this matter and by virtue of which I am conversant with the facts of this suit.

“That I am a business mogul and social media commentator with over 610, 000.00 plus die hard followers both in instagram, facebook/Meta and Twitter/X online platforms and I have posted about 13,800.00 videos and stories that kept attracting followers to date on my only social media account handle known as ‘isaacfayoseoriginal_’.

“That, as of today, my one post on my Instagram account handle is capable of attracting more than 500,000.00 comments within just an hour or so, and the statistics can be confirmed on my Instagram account handle as above and other social media platforms.

“That I got to this level NOT by chasing clout or online traffic but by touching the areas that matter for the social, infrastructural and economic development of our beloved Country, Nigeria.”

Fayose alleged that his reputation suffered a major setback on the morning of November 8 when he came across Alexander’s publication.

He stated:

“That the above status went down the rain on the morning of 8th November, 2026 when I woke up to another disturbing, inhuman defamatory and malicious publication about me by one Alexandra Alexander popularly known as “Queenofabuja” as her instagram account name who had accused me of raping and torturing her and her three year old son and the whole social media space went agog and the chance to sell me out to the online bloggers who had waited to feast on my name, person and hard earned integrity has finally come and I was my name was feasted upon with the said malicious and unsubstantiated accusation by the bloggers without stop.”

He claimed that the allegations triggered widespread reactions across social media, with bloggers and other online platforms amplifying the accusations.

In the writ of summons filed before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Fayose is asking the court to declare the publication defamatory and order Alexander to issue a written apology.

He specifically wants the apology published in ThisDay, The Sun and The Guardian newspapers.

The claimant is also seeking a perpetual injunction restraining Alexander, her agents, friends and associates from repeating the allegations through any medium.

His financial claims include N50 million in exemplary damages, N50 million in special damages and N100 million in general damages for alleged injury to his reputation, embarrassment and emotional distress.

He is also demanding N20 million as legal costs incurred in instituting the suit, bringing the total monetary claim to N220 million.
