Verydarkman, a controversial human rights activist and social media commentator, has made a dramatic U-turn by publicly apologizing to renowned lawyer Femi Falana following earlier defamatory claims. The activist, known for his outspoken nature, retracted the claims which had sparked outrage online.
The heated situation initially began when Bobrisky, a popular Nigerian socialite, allegedly revealed in an audio recording details of his interactions with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) during a case involving money laundering charges. Following the leak, Verydarkman reacted publicly, implicating Femi Falana in the ordeal.
However, Falana’s legal team responded by issuing a stern statement calling for Verydarkman to retract the allegations and issue an apology, threatening legal action if the activist failed to comply.
In response to the growing pressure, Verydarkman took to Instagram to post a video where he denied any intent to defame Femi Falana and stressed that his reaction was solely based on the audio recording involving Bobrisky. He also expressed respect for Falana’s reputation as a lawyer and human rights advocate.
Verydarkman asserted that Bobrisky’s allegations against Femi Falana, revealed in the audio, prompted his response and demanded a thorough investigation into the matter.
His words ,“I never defamed and will never defame Femi Falana. I only reacted to the call Bobrisky made, which included allegations against Femi Falana. I choose not to believe Femi Falana would be associated with that, and if so, I would be disappointed”.
