Olumide-Fusika maintained that there was a need for the pre-action letter because of what was contained in the press statement issued by Sunday Igboho, which is titled: "I did not take part in killing Chief Bola Ige."

He went further to describe the statement of the allegation of Adams as a move to injure his client's character. He demanded that Aare Ona Kakanfo retract the statement immediately.
