He had the chance to apologise but he refused. If it goes against him, good for him. He made veiled accusations and innuendoes against the Falanas in that video.

That's not nice.

Stupid illiterate boy feeling funky.

Ignorance will shatter your life, continue dancing to the tune of GenZ and adult by age, child by brain people online who are fish brained.

How would one still convince us Education is a scam. How

Check them below, these are the people we're saying. They're either GenZ or Adult by age, child by brain. To them the foolishness of Verydarkman is what turns them on

Judges will tell you it's not joke sha
There is a criminal aspect, also a civil one. The falanas decided to go the civil route.

This young man is being loved more than Nigerian politicians and even some musicians and footballers. Let him keep doing his good works. Falana should also withdraw this court case and instead be his lawyer in this fight against corrupt politiciansamd criminal Nigerians

VeryDarkMan Faces Femi Falana In Court Over Defamation (Video)


A social media activist and blogger, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan has arrived
Lagos High Court over defamation suit filed by Senior Advocate Of Nigeria, Femi Falana.

Newsmax Nigeria recalls that VeryDarkMan in a leaked video purportedly made by Idris Okuneye popularly known as Bobrisky had made some remarks about the role allegedly played by Falana in Bobrisky’s attempt to secure amnesty while in prison custody.

Following the public uproar generated by VeryDarkMan’s allegation, Falana through a letter by his law firm demanded a retraction of the allegation and subsequently filed a libel suit against VeryDarkMan before a Lagos State High Court.

In his ruling on the exparte application filed along with the substantive suit, Justice Dawodu ordered VeryDarkMan, his agents, and any associates to remove the defamatory videos and comments posted on September 24, 2024, across all his social media platforms.

The judge also restrained VeryDarkMan from further publishing any defamatory content against Falana.

Justice Dawodu granted the order on Monday, pending VeryD compliance with the pre-action protocol of the court.

In the application, Falana prayed the court for “An order of interim/pre-emptive remedy by this court restraining the defendant, his agents, privies, and/or anyone from further circulating or publishing any defamatory videos/comments about the applicant, and to remove the defamatory videos/comments published on September 24, 2024, from all his online social media handles/pages, pending compliance with the pre-action protocol of this court.

“An order granting leave to the applicant to serve the pre-action bundles, originating processes and all other court processes between parties herein on the defendant by substituted means through his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju of Deji Adeyanju & Partners at Terrace Block D4, White Diamond Estate, Makuru Street, Off Embu Street, Off Aminu, Wuse II, Abuja.”


In his ruling, Justice Dawodu held: “The applicant has a legal right to be protected from being defamed by the actions of the defendant. Whether this action will succeed can only be determined during the hearing of the matter.

“There is no doubt that the applicant has a legal right not to be defamed and has proved the possible existence of a breach of the same through the depositions in his affidavit.

“From the affidavit evidence and the documents in support thereof, it is clear that there are substantial issues to be tried in this matter; the balance of convenience seems to be in favor of the applicant, and damages might not be adequate compensation, especially moreso that the defendant might not be in good financial standing to compensate the applicant if the court finds in his favor.

“From the foregoing, this court finds that the applicant has satisfied the conditions stated in Adeleke v. Lawal (supra).

“The defendant, his agents, and privies are hereby restrained from further releasing, publishing, or circulating any defamatory videos/comments about the applicant and to bring down the defamatory video/comments about the Applicant published on September 24, 2024, on all his online social media handles/pages pending compliance with the pre-action protocol of this court.


“Leave is hereby granted to the applicant to serve the pre-action bundles, originating processes, and all other court processes between parties herein on the defendant by substituted means through his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju

“The applicant must file and serve the pre-action bundles, originating processes, and other accompanying processes on the defendant within 14 days from today. The order in 1 above shall lapse after 21 days from today.”

Activist vs Activist... Falana is way ahead in this mattter....lets watch and see
What type of activist is falana in this case? An activist that watched the prime suspect in this case to leave Nigeria but want to flex muscle with secondary suspect. In all the time that bobrisky failed to appear before the house, down to when he was arrested at the border and thereafter, arrested at the airport, Falana didn't say anything. Is that how an activist behave?
If he likes let him collaborate with bobrisky's godfather so they can lock VDM up but as far as myself and some reasonable people, bobrisky's run from point A to B down to C and his own silence over bobrisky's behavior are enough evidence that authenticate the audio tape.

As much as I admire this guys courage, I see he plays a lot of sentimental and tribal games. Why go to court in Benin traditional attire? Same way he appeared at the National Assembly. He knows very well what he is doing... I know he hasn't done any wrong but he appears manipulative to me.
Yes, he's very manipulative and childish but you are NOT CORRECT to say he's whipping up tribal sentiments ....the boy is from Edo state and that is their traditional attire for God's sake!!...
or is there a particular dress code for court hearing for person quy mo be lawyer and dressed decently....huh
Accusing of being childish, manipulative, disruptive, restless ( he's moved in circles from por.n to skit making to attacking Nigerian celebs to being an overnight activist etc but he's NEVER POTRAYED HIMSELF as a tribalist....person wey go Kwarra abi where, go build borehole, grew up in Jos, speaks hausa, has yoeuba friends ( Davido, Seun.. etc. )...chill man!!

LOL if he doesn't end up in jail, it would be a miracle. He failed to retract his statement and failed to properly apologize.

Make una dey hail am ooo... Trying to fight the best lawyer in Nigeria who has friends who are judges and SANs. I think his lawyers are stupid or maybe he didn't heed their advice.

Indeed, pride cometh before the fall.
Falana has to prove that those statements were defamatory. Falz already admitted speaking with bob on phone about prison matters. Even Bob wey supoose come testify now don jakpa.

Why is Femi Falana appearing in lawyers regalia? Why does he wear Yoruba clothes? Oya answer me.

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.
