Folakemi Falana, Falz sister and daughter of esteemed legal expert Femi Falana, announced that they will be taking Very Dark Man (VDM) to court after he failed to “do the needful” within 24 hours.
This follows the ultimatum given by Falz sister and their father, Femi Falana, through their lawyers on Wednesday, September 25. The letter demanded VDM apologize and retract the statements he made while reacting to an alleged audio conversation between Bobrisky and another man. VDM, however, maintains that he did not defame Falz or his renowned father.
Falz sister, Folakemi Falana, who is also an entertainment lawyer, responded by notifying VDM that they would indeed be seeing him in court. She wrote:
“My Parents and our firm, Falana & Falana, have been applying for presidential pardons for Nigerians absolutely FREE, way before a lot of you were born or before you could talk. Slide 1 is from 2016, and Slide 2 is from 2022.
It’s crazy that some Nigerians act like they can’t read or think for themselves. It’s unfortunate.
It’s even crazier that all it takes is for a ridiculous character like VDM to accuse my dad and Falz of bribery, corruption, and perversion of the course of justice. You 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 and having an affair with Bobrisky is wild. The fact that some of you actually believe it is what’s blowing my mind.
For the record, anyone can write the president to request a pardon for any convicted person in Nigeria.”
Falz sister then laid out the facts, making it clear that neither her father nor her brother had any dealings with Bobrisky:
“MY DAD HAS NEVER MET OR TALKED TO BOBRISKY WHETHER DIRECTLY OR VIA A PROXY.”
“BOBRISKY REACHED OUT TO FALZ THE SAME WAY HE REACHED OUT TO MANY OTHER CELEBRITIES ASKING FOR MONEY. THE REASON HE GAVE WAS SO THAT HE COULD AFFORD TO STAY IN THE VIP SECTION OF PRISON. HE NEVER EVER DISCUSSED A PRESIDENTIAL PARDON WITH HIM. HE SAID HE WAS REACHING OUT FROM PRISON, FALZ HAD NO REASON TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE.”
“DO YOU REALLY THINK MY DAD OR FALZ NEED BOB’S MONEY??? FOR WHAT?”
In closing, Falz sister reiterated that since VDM refused to apologize, they would see him in court: “Seeing as you have refused to do the needful, @verydarkblackman see you in court.”
