In the face of continued legal action from prominent human rights attorney Femi Falana and his son, well-known singer and activist Falz, for alleged defamation, activist and social media influencer Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, continues to stand his ground.
Verydarkman recently revealed on Instagram that he had traveled to Lagos with Deji Adeyanju, his attorney, in preparation for the court appearance.
The hearing, which is scheduled to start at 9:00 a.m. at Ikeja High Court, comes after allegations that Verydarkman shared unsubstantiated audio claiming misconduct, so defaming the Falana family.
Verydarkman shared an audio of crossdresser Bobrisky purportedly saying that Falana and Falz had gotten in touch with her while she was doing a six-month term for naira abuse, which sparked the debate.
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.”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
