Thursday, September 26, 2024 - Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has denied having any conversation with Bobrisky about a Presidential Pardon.
Recall that social activist, Very Dark
Man, released a purported audio conversation between Bobrisky and a man where
the crossdresser claimed that rapper, Falz reached out to him saying his
father, Femi Falana, said he can help him secure a presidential pardon so his
name would be cleared from criminal records.
Bobrisky who was at the time in
prison serving his jail term, claimed the revered lawyer started the process
for the presidential pardon and then reverted to him saying that the person who
was to help was asking for N10 million.
In a letter dated September 25 and
released by his legal representative, Taiwo Olawanle, Falana described the
allegation as a vicious, wicked, and reckless ploy to impugn his reputation.
The senior lawyer said he has never spoken to Bobrisky on his alleged pardon or
any matter whatsoever.
The legal expert demanded an
immediate retraction of the said publication as well as an apology from
VeryDarkMan to be published in all his platforms within 24 hours.
“The entire publication was a vicious,
wicked and reckless ploy to impugn the reputation of our client and lower him
in the estimation of right-thinking members of the public. We wish to state,
without any fear of contradiction, that our client has never, in his life,
spoken to Bobrisky on his alleged pardon or on any matter whatsoever.
We,
therefore, demand immediate retraction of the offensive and derogatory
publication as well as an apology prominently published in all the platforms to
which you have disseminated it without any justification whatsoever.
Be advised
that if we do not receive your formal retraction and apology as demanded within
24 (twenty-four) hours of the receipt hereof, we shall proceed with our
client’s instructions to seek appropriate legal remedies, including monetary
damages, against you for your incendiary publication and dissemination of
defamatory statements,” part of the letter read
