Nigerian rapper Folarin Falana, well known as Falz, has issued a 24-hour ultimatum to social media personality, Martins Vincent Otse, well known as Verydarkman for claiming that he assisted Bobrisky in dropping money laundering charges.
Falz’s reaction is in response to viral audio released by VeryDarkMan on September 24, 2024, where Bobrisky alleged that some unnamed EFCC officers collected ₦15 million from him to drop money laundering charges against him.
Sources also revealed that Bobrisky also alleged that a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and his son assisted in getting the charges dropped and keeping him out of prison.
So far, the alleged claims has prompted a lot of reactions on social media as Very Dark Man also alleged that Falz and his father, Femi Falana, a renowned SAN were the ones behind Bobrisky’s ordeal.
On the legal document posted to Falz’s Instagram on September 25, 2024, Verydarkman’s statement read, “In everything and everyone that is mentioned here, I will be disappointed if truly FALZ and his father are involved in this whole Bobrisky issue.”
This statement above by Verydarkman’ later triggered a response from Falz which read in part, “The entire publication was a vicious, wicked and reckless ploy to impugn the reputation of our client and lower him in the estimation of right-thinking members of the public. We, therefore, demand an immediate retraction of the offensive and derogatory publication as well as an apology prominently published on all the platforms to which you have disseminated it without any justification whatsoever.”
“Be advised that if we do not receive your formal retraction and apology as demanded within 24 (twenty-four) hours of the receipt hereof, we shall proceed with our client’s instructions to seek appropriate legal remedies, including monetary damages, against you for your incendiary publication and dissemination of defamatory statements.”
