Crossdresser, Bobrisky Never Spoke To Me, Never Met Him Before – Falana


Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has disclosed that he has never spoken or met with a crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky before in his lifetime.

Falana made this disclosure when he appeared in an interview on Channels TV on Thursday, insisting that none of his family had anything to do with Bobrisky.

He added that it was true that Bobrisky called his son, Falz, to help him with financial assistance when he was in prison, which he (Falz) refused to do.

Falana said, “Bobrisky never spoke to me, I have never met him, I don’t know him from Adam. He was alleged to have spoken to my son, Folarin, Falz. My son said this guy was appealing to him for assistance, and called my son, please, can you give me N3million to be placed in a special part of the prison; we call it VIP section.

"And my son asked, are you calling me under the authorisation of the superintendent of prisons, he said "No, please don’t call me again. I’m unable to assist you to bribe the prison authorities, and please be careful since you are already in jail for an offence, and if you are going to call me next time, you can either do it through the superintendent or write a letter endorsed by the prison authorities", and that was the last.

“Somebody now said that he listened to a tape somewhere and he went out to lampoon, however, defamed me. My son has never negotiated fix on behalf of anybody. On the contrary, my three children normally refer people who need assistance to me.

“Now what I am going to do: I have resisted the temptation to file a criminal complaint because I am leading a team of lawyers in West Africa, campaigning for decriminalisation of freedom of expression. In this case, we are not going to file a criminal complaint, we won’t be pushed to do that. What we will do is embark on civil proceedings with a view to restoring our integrity, my own name and that of my son.”

Falana’s comments were in reaction to controversies that had trailed a recent publication made by social media influencer, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan.

VeryDarkMan allegedly made some unverified and inaccurate claims against Falana, saying he was involved in a bribery allegation with Bobrisky.

However, VeryDarkMan on Monday tendered his "unreserved apology" to human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN when he appeared before the Nigerian House of Representatives.

He had said also he did not believe Falana was involved in the alleged bribery levelled against cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Ok

We believe you sir, all I know is that, it is not a crime to stand for NLC president who is fighting for Nigeria workers.

Your son acted as the intermediary between you and bobrisky

He was so emotional.
It's very painful to be falsely accused.

If you understand Nigeria eh, that means say no be Nigeria them tell you about.....cos nobody fit ever understand this country

The fame wey VDM dey hustling for,go land him I. kuje

It's disrespectful to address a whole Bobrisky as "him"

In the first place, Bobrisky wasn't supposed to be any where near prison on of spraying Naira. If Cubana Chief Priest didn't go to prison, then it was an act of grave injustice for Bobrisky to have been sent to prison.

By the way, there are other reasons for which he may have been prosecuted which are overlooked.

At the end of the day, the lesson of the Bobrisky avoidable 'cho cho Cho' is that some secrets are meant to be taken to the grave.

VDM is just a clueless clout chaser
He has now taken to dishing relationship advice after fumbling badly
He's lucky Falana is a lenient and restrained man
Imagine dragging a reputation that existed before you were born in the mud with some stupid unverified audio
Hogwash!!

When trouble sleep, yanga go wake am.... Wetin e dey find.... wahala e dey find

So what should we do

When making a submission, you should qualify your statement as a personal opinion and
not the position of the law. Because your advise could land people in jail based on ignorance.
That other people avoided jail term doesn't mean the next person would be lucky.

Every country has set of unenforced or weakly enforced laws, that have being in existence
for decades.
Under the right circumstance, a suspect will be the first to be tried and convicted
under such law.

Bobrisky was legally convicted and thrown in jail, so he has every business of being in prison.

In my humble submission, I don't think the Falanas would want to soil their names in a case involving a character like Bobrisky, especially, considering the fact that it wasn't a case of human right abuse.

At the same time, an ittance that Bobrisky put a call through to a member of the Falanas makes me wanna think otherwise.

Only God can not lie

Mr falana anger should be channelled to bobrisky who made those statements in that recorded call.......
Two facts from VDM claim

1. Bobrisky called falz
2. Bobrisky made unauthorised calls from prison

All ds news no dey relevant to us

VDM please come and explain yourself

Vdm has to be punished for false claim.....I was telling some dumb mofos here few days ago that how can u authentic a voice call as proof , that even video evidence can be denied but they all thought bob and vdm is Nigerians current problem...instead of the lazy youth to be out there protesting hunger rather they are masturbating on baseless issue that doesn't hold water... bunch of miscreants!

I blame you for not sueing him for criminal defamation of your person. Well, since you are advocating and fighting for freedom of "free speech", you will also become victim of ur own struggles..


.....one cannot sit down at a corner of his house and continuous throwing bombs to markets, thinking he wants to be relevant on social media, and getting free fame, that he doesn't deserve by bringing people down.

2special:
Your son acted as the intermediary between you and bobrisky

Forward this information to the relevant authorities or stop wailing.

You go explain taya

To be frank, how can Bobrisky who needed a loan shimself even pay Falana? The story nor just

Lies

But Falz your son spoke to you on she/him behalf

And how is that? His methods maybe unorthodox but we need to salute his bravery. We all heard the call recording. He never brought Falana in, Bobrisky did and Falana didn't say it's false, he only said what truly transpired. He only said his own version. Na Bobrisky and his godfather I pity ... one of them will destroy the other. All na time cos this case never close from the looks of it. Only time will tell.
