Folakemi Falana, daughter of human rights lawyer Femi Falana, has warned social media critic VeryDarkMan. She wants him to take back what he said about her family.
Folakemi spoke out on Instagram on Friday. She said the claims about her father and brother Falz being involved in bribery are not true.
Remember, Bobrisky, a popular crossdresser, was sentenced to four months in jail on April 12, 2024. This happened because he misused Nigerian money.
On September 24, 2024, VeryDarkMan shared a voice recording. In this recording, Bobrisky said Falz asked his father, Femi Falana, to get him a presidential pardon.
Bobrisky also said Femi Falana asked for N10 million to settle the case.
Falz replied to these claims on Wednesday. He said Bobrisky only asked him for N3 million to stay in a better section of the jail.
Falz and his father gave VeryDarkMan a 24-hour deadline to take back his comments.
VeryDarkMan replied in a video on social media. He said he did not make up the story. He was just sharing the leaked recording.
Folakemi Falana responded on Instagram. She said their law firm, Falana & Falana Chambers, has helped people get presidential pardons for free since 2016.
She expressed her sadness over the situation. Folakemi wrote: “My parents and our firm have been helping Nigerians get pardons for a long time, even before many of you were born or could talk.
“It’s crazy that someone like VeryDarkMan can accuse my dad and Falz of bribery and corruption and people believe it.
“He even accused Falz of being homosexual. For the record, anyone can write to the President to ask for a pardon for someone convicted in Nigeria.
“Do you think my dad or Falz need Bobrisky’s money? No, they don’t. Since you won’t do the right thing, see you in court.”
