VeryDarkMan, who shared the viral recording, quoted Bob on Instagram to claim that Falana sought a presidential pardon for the crossdresser with N10 million fee.
Falana’s legal team responded to the claim. The senior lawyer refuted the claim, insisting that he never discussed the claimed pardon with Bobrisky.
Falana and his son, Falz sued the TikToker for defamation after he refused to retract his statement within 24 hours.
However, in a letter dated September 25, 2024, Verydarkman‘s lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, says his client didn’t defame human rights lawyer Femi Falana. Instead, he (VDM) questioned the validity of Bobrisky’s claims in the leaked audio.
