Martins Otse a.k.a VeryDarkMan, has stuck to his guns on retracting his remarks concerning a leaked audio tape linked to Idris Okuneye a.k.a Bobrisky, which allegedly named renowned human rights lawyer Femi Falana and his rapper son Falz in bribe scheme to keep Bobrisky out of prison.
Falana’s daughter, Folakemi Falana has warned VeryDarkMan to be ready to face a defamatory suit in court in the days to come.
Writing on her Instagram page Friday, Folakemi Falana said that her dad and brother has been falsely accused of facilitating the payment of N15m bribe to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to drop a money laundering charge and also arrange for Bobrisky to be kept in a comfort zone rather that do his time in Kirikiri prison for a naira abuse sentence.
“It’s crazy that all it takes is for a ridiculous character like VDM to accuse my dad and Falz of bribery, corruption, and perversion of the course of Justice and you suddenly forget who they are and what they stand for,” she wrote.
” My dad has never met or talked to Bobrisky whether directly or via a proxy, Bobrisky reached out to Falz the same way he reached out to many other celebrities asking for money.
“The reason he gave was so that he stays in the VIP section of prison. He never discussed a presidential pardon with him. He said he was reaching out from prison, Falz had no reason to believe otherwise.”
Emphasising on her family law firm advocacy for presidential pardons for Nigerians, free of charge as a means for attack, she pointed out that Bobrisky had never approached them for such assistance.
“My Parents and our firm, Falana & Falana have been applying for presidential pardons for Nigerians absolutely FREE way before a lot of you were born or before you could talk.
“For the record, anyone can write the president to request a pardon for any convicted person in Nigeria. You don’t even need to be a lawyer to apply for a pardon.
“That said, Bobrisky never approached anyone in my family or our firm for presidential pardon.
“Seeing as you have refused to do the needful, @verydarkblackman, see you in court.”
