Tunde Ayeni has rebuffed private settlement attempts from lawyer Adaobi Alagwu in their paternity dispute, stating that only public court proceedings can restore his damaged reputation. The former Skye Bank chairman said informal mediation offers arrived through intermediaries but insisted that clearing his name requires transparent legal vindication rather than confidential agreements.
Ayeni warned associates against serving as go-betweens for Alagwu, characterizing such efforts as offensive and demanding that all communication occur exclusively through judicial channels. The businessman confirmed his readiness to provide testimony during scheduled court appearances while criticizing Alagwu for allegedly avoiding earlier customary court sessions.
The dispute centers on allegations that Ayeni fathered Alagwu's daughter Omarosa, claims his family says evidence has disproven. Ayeni expressed confidence that ongoing litigation will conclusively vindicate him and end the controversy that has affected both his personal and professional standing.
