Bobrisky: See you in court, Folakemi Falana to Verydarkman over allegation

Folakemi Falana, daughter of prominent human rights lawyer Femi Falana, has publicly refuted allegations of bribery and corruption involving her father, brother (musician Falz), and socialite Bobrisky.

In an Instagram post, Folakemi clarified that Femi Falana has never met Bobrisky and has had no involvement in his legal affairs.

She explained that Bobrisky had only contacted Falz for financial aid during his imprisonment to secure a VIP position within the prison, and there was no discussion about a presidential pardon.

Folakemi further shared evidence that Falana & Falana Chambers has been offering pro bono legal assistance for presidential pardons since 2016, reiterating the transparency of their efforts.

Folakemi also criticized the spread of false rumors, particularly those insinuating that Falz is homosexual or involved with Bobrisky.

She urged the public to be more discerning about the accuracy of the information they consume, expressing disappointment at the quick spread of baseless claims.

She wrote, “My Parents and our firm, Falana & Falana have been applying for presidential pardons for Nigerians FREE way before a lot of you were born or before you could talk. Slide 1 is from 2016 and Slide 2 is from 2022.

“It’s crazy that some Nigerians act like they can’t read or think for themselves. It’s unfortunate.

“It’s even crazier 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. For him to have the audacity to go as far as even accusing Falz of being homosexual and having an affair with Bobrisky is wild. The fact that some of you believe it, is what is blowing my mind.

“For the record, anyone can write the president to request a pardon for any convicted person in Nigeria.

“To be crystal clear, the facts are as follows: 1) My dad has never met or talked to Bobrisky whether directly or via a proxy.

“2) 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 could afford to stay 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.

“3) DO you think my dad or Falz need Bob’s money??? for what?.”

Folakemi condemned the accusations as baseless and threatened legal action against the accuser, VeryDarkMan (VDM), saying “Seeing as you have refused to do the needful, #verydarkblackman see you in court.”

Recall that VeryDarkMan shared audio recordings in which Bobrisky allegedly stated that both Femi Falana and his son, Falz, had reached out to him prior to his release from prison.

The recordings further implied that Femi Falana had negotiated a settlement of 10 million naira to settle the case.

In response to these claims, Falz issued a 24-hour ultimatum to VeryDarkMan, demanding the immediate retraction of all defamatory remarks.
