Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has sparked renewed controversy surrounding Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, with fresh evidence supporting his initial exposé.
VeryDarkMan clarified that his intention wasn’t to defame human rights lawyer Femi Falana, but to seek the truth.
In an Instagram post, VeryDarkMan revealed, “Now, let me tell you something even more interesting. I have another voice note to post, which I will share tomorrow, and it’s from a different person… I want a thorough investigation into this matter because the EFCC was mentioned, the Comptroller General of Prisons was named, as well as Uncle Femi Falana and Falz. A deep investigation will reveal everything.”
The drama began when VeryDarkMan shared a voice note where Bobrisky claimed his godfather and the Controller General of the Nigerian Correctional Service arranged for him to serve his six-month sentence in a private apartment. Bobrisky also alleged that Falz and his father, Falana, offered to secure a Federal Government pardon for ₦10 million.
Falana’s lawyer demanded a retraction and apology from VeryDarkMan, stating, “We wish to state, without any fear of contradiction, that our client (Falana) has never, in his life, spoken to Bobrisky regarding his alleged pardon or on any matter whatsoever.”
“I did not defame Uncle Falana, and I never will,” VeryDarkMan clarified. “Uncle Falana, SAN, is someone I respect 100%. I respect him not just because of his position as SAN, but because of what he has used that position to achieve—representing people like me.”
