A defamation lawsuit filed by human rights lawyer Femi Falana and his son, Falz, against social media personality VeryDarkMan (VDM) has been struck out by an Ikeja High Court.
The Falanas had demanded N500 million each in damages over a video VDM posted online, allegedly linked to claims of interruption of justice because of crossdresser Bobrisky.

On Tuesday, April 15, the court hearing was held in the absence of the claimants and defendant. VDM’s counsel, Niyi Alagbe, informed the court that an application for a stay of proceedings had been filed before Justice Fimisola Azeez, who is handling the suit.
The Falanas’ counsel, Omotayo Olatunbosun, objected, stating that the application was filed late and aimed to stall the case. He urged the judge to proceed with the preliminary objection, which was ripe for hearing.
However, Justice Matthias Dawodu struck out the suit, citing that insisting on proceeding would be an academic exercise since the main suit is before another judge.
VDM’s reaction to his recent victory was an expected one by his fans, as he went online to express his heartfelt gratitude to his maker.
Also, by his side was his right-hand man, Koko Pee, who also joined him in praising God for their latest feat, which also subtly mocked the Falanas.

Plot thickens as court fines VDM
As per a previous report by TheTalk.NG, Lagos state high court ordered VDM to pay some amount in damages to human rights advocate Femi Falana and his son, Falz.
Recall that the controversial activist initially alleged that Bobrisky paid N15 million to EFCC to strike out his money laundering case.
After he alleged that Falz and his father also received money to clear Bobrisky’s name, the court has asked him to pay a whopping sum of money for damages.
