…apologizes to Femi Falana, SAN
The last has not yet been heard on the controversies involving Nigerian-born cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye popularly known as Bobrisky and popular social media influencer, Martins Otse otherwise known as VeryDarkMan (VDM).
VDM had alleged in a video that Bobrisky was involved in bribery during his jail sentence which which led to some money up to the tune of fifteen million Naira (N15, 000,000.00) exchanging hands between the now ex-convict on one hand and some officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Prisons, now Nigerian Correctional Centres.
According to the video, Bobrisky was alleged to have parted with the said sum in order for him to be given a special apartment instead of the normal prison cell.
The controversial video by VDM had also indicted a famous legal practitioner, Femi Falana SAN and his entertainer son, Falz.
Falana, Falz and Bobrisky had since denied any involvement in the said saga.
Worried by the development, the Nigerian House of Representatives had invited VDM to throw more light on his allegations in the video.
Responding to some questions during the hearing VDM, after presenting his overview said he won’t say more until Bobrisky and EFCC Chairman were present otherwise he will die.
Meanwhile, Bobrisky who was absent during the hearing, was reported by his lawyer to be sick.
The Reps demanded a medical report to substantiate Bobrisky’s Lawyer’s claim.
…VeryDarkMan apologises to Falana Over ‘Offensive, Derogatory Bribery Allegations
Meanwhile, VeryDarkMan on Monday tendered his “unreserved apology” to human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, over his (Otse) recent derogatory innuendos against the senior lawyer.
VeryDarkMan, who appeared before the Nigerian House of Representatives said he also did not believe Falana was involved in the alleged bribery levelled against cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
He said: “Apparently now, some people are taking the advantage of what is going to target Femi Falana.
“Here I apologise, it’s so sad that his name was inside that audio, I couldn’t believe as well; that is the part that irritated me more which I said I refuse to believe that he is a party to something like that.”
SaharaReporters earlier reported that VeryDarkMan called for a thorough investigation into the matter, saying that he had no intention of defaming Falana.
He had added that he received further information that officials of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) were mentioned.
Falana on Wednesday had stated that he never spoke to cross-dresser, Bobrisky, about any alleged pardon or other matters.
In a letter dated September 25, 2024, from his legal team at Falana & Falana’s Chambers and signed by Taiwo E. Olawanle, Esq., the senior lawyer addressed a recent Instagram post made by VeryDarkMan, claiming that Falana “spoke to Bobrisky in order to divert justice.”
VeryDarkMan also alleged that Falana sought a presidential pardon for Bobrisky in exchange for N10million.
The letter outlines that the allegations are defamatory and that they accused Falana of engaging in deceitful conduct and undermining his integrity.
But reacting in an Instagram post, VeryDarkMan claimed that he possesses further damning evidence to support his exposé regarding Bobrisky and the voice note in which the crossdresser allegedly claimed to have served his sentence in a private apartment.
