Bobrisky claimed that he had bribed EFCC operatives with N15 million to drop money laundering charges against him and that he had also attempted to bribe NCoS officials to evade imprisonment.

Expressing his satisfaction with the minister’s actions, VeryDarkMan stated, “The honorable minister of interior Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, you have proven yourself to me before, and I was just relaxed watching. And boom, you did it again with the suspension of some officers that might be involved in this whole Bobrisky saga.”

He praised the minister’s commitment to improving Nigeria, adding that they are working together to create positive change.

He added, “much love Egbon it’s a fight to make Nigeria a better place and we will definitely make it a better place with our own little efforts, keep that fire burning, we have picked each others brains and I believe in you for now because as a politician you fit go change tomorrow so for now you are the guy, GOD BLESS YOU,I love you Egbon.”

In the midst of a heated defamation controversy involving human rights lawyer Femi Falana and social media influencer Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, another notable legal figure has stepped in.

Public interest lawyer Inibehe Effiong has critiqued VeryDarkMan’s handling of the matter, pointing out key legal missteps in his approach.

In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, Effiong took issue with VeryDarkMan’s understanding of libel law.

He remarked, “Saying that you expected Femi Falana to write to Bobrisky and not you, who actually published the defamatory matter, is just a demonstration of your acute lack of knowledge of the law of libel.”

He stressed that VeryDarkMan’s personal remarks and his involvement in sharing defamatory audio held him legally responsible.

“Even if you intend to argue fair comment in court, your personal, prejudicial statements weaken your case. Emotion and the law are separate matters,” Effiong continued.

He further clarified that defamation could still be actionable even without directly naming individuals, provided society can reasonably infer the identity of the person being defamed.

“If reasonable and right-thinking members of society can deduce from your statement who the defamatory remarks were targeting, and if this lowers the public’s opinion of that individual, you are legally liable,” Effiong explained.

The controversy erupted after VeryDarkMan shared an audio implicating Femi Falana’s son, rapper Folarin Falana (known as Falz), in a conversation involving Nigerian crossdresser Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky.

In the recording, Bobrisky allegedly claimed that, after his sentencing in April for defacing naira notes, his godfather, with the help of the Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, arranged for him to serve his six-month sentence in a private apartment.

Bobrisky also purportedly stated that Falz and his father, Falana, had contacted him, offering to secure a Federal Government pardon for ₦10 million.

In a shocking revelation, social media personality, Bobrisky has opened up about his mental struggles, which has seen him contemplating suicide, stating that he never considered suicide until now, but attributed the change to the hostility and animosity he perceives from other humans of late.

He revealed this via an Instagram post on Thursday.

He wrote “I have never in my life thought about suicide but now it is coming to my head seeing what human beings are doing to their fellow human. You want to bring them down by force or because you don’t like them.”

His candid remarks come in the wake of serious allegations involving a leaked audio recording shared by influencer VeryDarkMan.

In the recording, Bobrisky purportedly claims that he was pressured to pay N15 million to dismiss a money laundering charge against him.

Following these allegations, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has taken action by inviting both Bobrisky and VeryDarkMan to its Lagos office to assist in investigations regarding the alleged bribery.

In addition, Bob risky emphasized that he doesn’t seek sympathy from anyone but rather reflects on the loss of support from his late parents, expressing skepticism about who would truly stand by him in these trying times.

He added “I don’t need no sympathy from anyone. People I might have need sympathy from are my late parents. But who will fight for you? Friends? HATERS YOU WON.
