A law firm, Lightfield Legal Practitioners, has issued a letter of demand to Mr. Kuye Oghenevwede Adegoke, known publicly as Egungun of Lagos, requiring payment of 7,675,000 naira within five days in respect of electronic devices said to have been supplied to him in September.
The letter, dated 3 October 2026 and signed by the firm’s Managing Partner, Mr. Balogun Sofiyullahi, states that the firm acts for Mr. Onyishi Kingsley Chukwuebuka, Chief Executive Officer of Bworld Communication Limited.
According to the letter, the recipient contacted the firm’s client on 20 September 2026, after the client had been introduced to him by a person identified only as “M2,” who represented that he intended to purchase certain items.
“Following the discussions that ensued, our Client understood that the transaction was a straightforward commercial purchase of the items required by you, at the agreed prices and on the agreed terms,” it states.
It states that given the urgency attached to the request, and the fact that the goods were scheduled to arrive in Lagos before being weighed and dispatched to Abuja, the client “took the additional step of personally travelling to Lagos by flight to receive the goods and facilitate their prompt delivery,” solely to avoid the delay that would otherwise have arisen from the ordinary logistics process.
The Swap
The letter states that the items were supplied and delivered on 22 September 2026, and that as part of the transaction the client received and swapped the recipient’s old items for an agreed value.
Those items are listed as an iPhone 17 Pro Max 2TB at 1,900,000 naira; an iPhone 17 Pro Max 1TB at 1,800,000 naira; an iPhone 17 Pro Max 512GB at 1,700,000 naira; an iPhone 17 Pro Max 256GB at 1,500,000 naira; an iPhone 13 Pro 128GB at 350,000 naira; a MacBook Pro M4 16 at 2,500,000 naira; a MacBook Pro M1 Pro 14 at 1,500,000 naira; and a MacBook Neo at 750,000 naira, making a total of 12,000,000 naira.
What Was Supplied
In exchange and consideration for those items, the letter states, the client supplied three units of the iPhone 18 Pro Max 1TB at 3,900,000 naira each; one MacBook Pro M5, 48GB and 1TB, at 5,200,000 naira; one iPhone 18 Pro 256GB at 2,250,000 naira; two units of the Samsung S21 128GB at 230,000 naira each; and one JBL headset at 65,000 naira.
“Hence, the total value of these items supplied to you is N19,675,000.00,” it states.
The letter states that upon completion of the transaction and delivery, the recipient asked the client to issue an invoice reflecting the total value of the goods supplied, and that an invoice dated 21 September 2026 was duly issued and served on him.
“Additionally, we are briefed that having regards to the swap arrangement between you and our Client, as customary, the value of the items exchanged in your favour is to be deducted from the total value of the goods supplied to you,” it states. “To this end, after deducting the agreed value of the items exchanged, the outstanding balance payable by you to our Client is N7,675,000.00.”
The Dispute
“To the chagrin of our Client, however, rather than pay the outstanding sum, our Client was subsequently informed by you that you would not be making payment for the goods on the basis that you had, purportedly, promoted our Client and that such promotion should be regarded as consideration for the goods supplied to you,” the letter states.
It adds that the recipient subsequently said his “normal” promotional fee was far above the debt owed, and that having regard to the value of the goods supplied, he was “supposedly doing our Client a favour by accepting the goods in exchange for your alleged promotional services.”
“Never Engaged Your Services”
“BE IT NOTED that, our Client was quite emphatic to you at all material times that it never engaged your services as an influencer, never commissioned you to promote its business, and never agreed to pay you any promotional or advertising fee whatsoever,” the letter states.
“Besides, at no time before, during or after the transaction was our Client informed that your patronage was conditional upon, or would constitute consideration for, any promotional service. It is therefore regrettable to our Client that, having received and retained the goods, you have now sought to avoid payment by introducing terms which were never communicated or agreed.”
“At the expense of prolixity, we reiterate that our Client finds it disturbing that you, having requested, negotiated for, received and retained the goods supplied to you, together with the invoice therefor, would now unilaterally introduce an entirely separate and previously undisclosed commercial arrangement and seek to apply same against the purchase price of the goods supplied.”
On The Intermediary
The letter also answers a contention that the recipient never engaged the client personally.
“However, be advised, whatever intermediary arrangement may have existed between you and the (M2) person who initially connected you with our Client does not alter the fact that the goods were negotiated, supplied directly to, received and retained by you; invoice directly issued to and accepted by you, thereby giving rise to your corresponding obligation to pay the agreed purchase price. On this, we shall say no more.”
On Unrequested Promotion
“BE ADVISED that, our Client firmly notes that any promotional activity you may have undertaken voluntarily and unilaterally, without the prior consent and approval of our Client, whether before or after the transaction, cannot retrospectively create a contractual obligation against our Client or extinguish your obligation to pay for goods supplied to and retained by you, particularly where our Client neither requested nor agreed to remunerate any such activity,” it states.

“BE INFORMED that, while we are open to an amicable settlement, we have our Client’s firm instructions to demand the immediate payment of the outstanding sum of N7,675,000.00,” the letter states.
Payment is demanded into a named account with Providus Bank in the firm’s name, within five days from the date of receipt of the letter, inclusive of the date of receipt, “failing which our Client shall, without further recourse to you, take all necessary and lawful action against you.”

The letter is signed for the firm by its Managing Partner and carries his Supreme Court enrolment number and the firm’s digital seal dated 3 October 2026.
