Controversial online critic, VeryDarkMan, has said that he holds popular lawyer, Femi Falana, (SAN) in high esteem and he is not out to defame him.
He spoke through his legal representative, Deji Adeyanju, as he responds to a demand that he retract his statement and apologise over his claim concerning Bobrisky’s case when the crossdresser was jailed.
Bobrisky in the audio clip allegedly said Falana was working on helping him secure a presidential pardon and had asked for N10 m to complete the job.
Falana’s entertainer son, Falz, has said Bobrisky only phoned him and requested N30m for a deal to get VIP treatment in prison.
He, however, did not oblige him, Falz noted.
In a statement released tonight, Adeyanju said VDM didn’t defame Falana but rather, ‘published the said communication with a view to getting the relevant agencies and Mr Falana to investigate the allegations Bobrisky made in the said voice recording.’
