Activist and social media influencer Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, remains defiant amid ongoing legal action from renowned human rights lawyer Femi Falana and his son, popular musician and activist Falz, following accusations of defamation.

In a recent Instagram post, Verydarkman shared that he had arrived in Lagos with his legal representative, Deji Adeyanju, ahead of the court hearing.

The hearing, set to commence at 9:00 a.m. at Ikeja High Court, follows claims that Verydarkman defamed the Falana family by sharing unverified audio alleging misconduct.

The controversy began when Verydarkman posted a recording in which crossdresser Bobrisky allegedly claimed that Falana and Falz had contacted her during her six-month sentence for naira abuse, reportedly offering to secure her a presidential pardon for ₦10 million.

Bobrisky, however, has since denied the recording’s authenticity and threatened legal action against Otse, accusing him of defamation.

The Falana family also demanded an apology and retraction, warning of legal consequences.

Despite this, Verydarkman has refused to apologise, maintaining that his actions were aimed at “exposing corruption” rather than defaming the Falana family.

“They (Falana and Falz) said I defamed them, but for me, it’s corruption I exposed,” Verydarkman stated in a video post.

“I see things that don’t make sense, like someone going to prison and not serving their jail term or the EFCC, which is supposed to catch people involved in corruption, collecting money.”

“That’s what I exposed. But sadly, some people (Falana and Falz) whose names were mentioned said I should have informed them before posting such things about them.

“They (Falana and Falz) asked me to apologise. I don’t see anything wrong with what I did, so I’m not apologising to anybody. If someone’s name is mentioned, they should clear their name.”

Which day Adeyanyu finish law school here? Is it not even Baze university school in Abuja he attended?

Even though I want to believe VDM has a good case but he has to know that it is him vs a SAN, a cashivist lawyer will not have the clout to take on not just a SAN but a popular one whose cases Adeyanyu may have used in some of his course lectures.

A those shouting he will surely go to jail... I want you to know that VDM is ready to do time. That's what he is about so if them wan lock am, make dem go ahead.

Nobody is talking about the fact that bribery n corruption was exposed .

What they should be doing is investigating that video and other evidence VDM has and if it is false then they talk about jail.

I am really surprised the way some of the so called Nigerians clamoring for change reason. Na we dey do ourself

EmperorCaesar:

VDM is responding with a strong conviction from a place of many evidences yet Falana claimed not to have met Bobrisky before

Useless fight, as the Bobrisky himself is off to a new coast

May the better team win

Adeyanyu/VDM vs Folarin and Femi

So coz someone is a SAN, if there is even some iota of corruption in what VDM shared, it should be swept under the carpet abi? Na why we get the kind of politicians wey ww get be this.
