Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has denied having anything to do with popular crossdresser, Idris Okuneye known as Bobrisky and his alleged assistance to help get a presidential pardo n while he served his term in Kirikiri prison.
Recall that social activist, Very Dark Man, last week released a purported audio conversation between Bobrisky and a man where the crossdresser claimed that Falz reached out to him saying his father, Femi Falana, said he could help him secure a presidential pardon with 10 million naira, so his name would be cleared from criminal records.
Both father and son through their lawyers, demanded an immediate retraction of the said publication as well as an apology from VeryDarkMan to be published on all his platforms within 24 hours. However, VDM argued that he didn’t defame the Falanas but only brought the audio recording to light because he wanted relevant agencies to investigate allegations allegedly made by Bobrisky.
However in a chat with Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, October 3, Falana denied ever meeting Bobrisky or speaking to him.
He says they will be initiating civil proceedings in court against VDM if a retraction and an acceptable apology is not received from him.
