VeryDarkMan denies defaming Falz's father, Femi Falana

In response to the legal threat from Falz, activist VeryDarkMan has come forward to deny accusations of defamation against his father, Femi Falana.

It would be recalled that Falz had issued a 24-hour ultimatum to VDM, demanding the removal of all defamatory statements.

Falz also clarified that he never reached out to Bobrisky and that VDM made no contact with him before publishing the false claims, which also included insinuations of homosexuality.

In response, VDM's lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, issued a statement asserting that the activist denies defaming Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, whom he holds in high regard.

VDM explained that he released the audio recordings to prompt a thorough investigation by the relevant authorities into Bobrisky's allegations, with some details reportedly confirmed by Falz.

The letter read in part:

"Our client denies defaming Mr. Femi Falana, SAN, a renowned Senior Advocate of Nigeria and globally recognised human rights activist, but asserts that he only published the said communication with a view to getting the relevant agencies, and even your client, to initiate a thorough investigation into the far reaching allegations made by Mr. Okuneye in the said voice recording, especially as some element of the voice recording has been confirmed by Mr. Folarin Falana in his solicitor's letter of September 25, 2024...."
