Folakemi Falana, daughter of human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has issued a threat to social media critic, VeryDarkMan for failing to retract alleged defamatory statements made about her family members.

She made the threat in an Instagram post on Friday, while denying bribery and corruption allegations against her father, Falana and her brother, singer Falz.

Recall that embattled crossdresser Bobrisky was sentenced to six months in prison on April 12, 2024, following his involvement in the abuse of the Nigerian currency, the naira.

BIZTELLERS reports that VeryDarkMan on Tuesday September 24, 2024, released a leaked voice recording of Bobrisky claiming that Falz contacted him about obtaining a presidential pardon for him through his father, Femi Falana.

According to the leaked audio, Bobrisky further stated that Femi Falana negotiated a settlement of N10 million for the case.

Reacting to the controversial claims on Wednesday, Falz denied the allegation, noting that Bobrisky only contacted him to seek financial assistance of N3 million to pay some officials for him to stay in the VIP section of the Correctional Centre.

Falz and his father, through Falana and Falana’s Chambers, issued VeryDarkMan a 24-hour ultimatum to retract his comments.

Responding to the ultimatum in a video on social media, VeryDarkMan explained that he never defamed the duo, noting that he only reacted to the leaked audio he shared on his platform.

However, reacting to VeryDarkMan’s response to the ultimatum, Folakemi Falana in an Instagram post, shared that Falana & Falana Chambers have been providing free legal support for individuals seeking presidential pardons since 2016.

While expressing her disappointment over the development, Folakemi wrote: “My Parents and our firm, Falana & Falana have been applying for presidential pardons for Nigerians FREE way before a lot of you were born or could talk.

“It’s even crazier that all it takes is for a ridiculous character like VeryDarkMan to accuse my dad and Falz of bribery, corruption and perversion of the course of justice and you people suddenly forget who they are and what they stand for.

“For him to have the audacity to go as far as even accusing Falz of being homosexual is wild. For the record, anyone can write the President to request a pardon for any convicted person in Nigeria.

“Do you think my dad or Falz need Bob’s money??? For what? Seeing as you have refused to do the needful, #verydarkblackman see you in court.”

In a show of support, controversial figure Martins Otse, also known as, VeryDarkMan, has celebrated the suspension of two officers by the Nigeria Correctional Service (NCS).

He disclosed this in a video posted via his Facebook page on Thursday.

This suspension follows serious allegations made by popular crossdresser Idris Okuneye, widely recognized as Bobrisky against the NCoS and the EFCC.

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.”

Concerns over the management of correctional facilities have prompted the Federal Government to suspend key officials at the Maximum and Minimum Custodial Centres in Kirikiri, Lagos State.

This decision follows the emergence of an audio leak that raises serious questions about the treatment of convicted individuals within the correctional system.

Ja’afaru Ahmed, the Secretary of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB), announced the suspensions in a statement released on Thursday in Abuja.

The controversy centers around Idris Okuneye, known as Bobrisky, who was sentenced to six months in prison for a crime but reportedly received special treatment, including access to an apartment outside the facility.

The allegations prompted Interior Minister Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo to initiate an investigation on Wednesday.

Ahmed assured that the suspension of the officers aims to ensure a thorough inquiry into the matter, with the findings set to be made public once the investigation is concluded.

He said; “Following the viral video trending on social media on alleged infractions by Officers of the Nigerian Correctional Service relating to Mr. Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has suspended forthwith the following Senior Officers of the Service.

“Michael Anugwa, Deputy Controller of Corrections (DCC), In-Charge of Medium Security Custodial Centre (MSCC), Kiri-kiri, Lagos State; and Sikiru Adekunle, Deputy Controller of Corrections (DCC), In-Charge of Maximum-Security Custodial Centre (MSCC), Kiri-kiri, Lagos State.

“Also, the Board has suspended ASC II Ogbule Samuel Obinna, serving at the Medium Security Custodial Centre (MSCC), Afikpo, Ebonyi State, for allegedly accompanying a convicted inmate out of the Custodial Centre to a location outside the facility.

“In another related development, the Board has equally suspended another Senior Officer of the Service, Iloafonsi Kevin Ikechukwu, Deputy Controller of Corrections (DCC), In-Charge of Medium Security Custodial Centre (MSCC), Kuje- Abuja, for allegedly receiving monies on behalf of an inmate.”
