Falz provided the story in a letter, at the same time as attesting to his correspondence with Bobrisky about the legal troubles the social media star encountered earlier this year.
This letter, dated September 26, 2024, was sent by Falz’s legal team, Falana & Falana’s Chambers, to Martins Vincent Otse, alias VeryDarkMan, asking that he retract the defamatory statements that had been made about him. It emphasized claims that Falz and Bobrisky colluded to “pervert the course of justice” by providing cash in exchange for a favorable court decision.
While Bobrisky did seek counsel, according to Falz’s attorney Taiwo E. Olawanle, Falz vehemently denied any idea of offering financial assistance.
The letter ordered that the defamatory remarks be immediately retracted and that a public apology be made available on all media. Falana & Falana Chambers threatened legal action and a demand for monetary damages for the harm done to Falz’s reputation if they weren’t compliant within the allotted 24 hours. The letter said as follows: “We have come to your attention regarding your September 25, 2024, post on your Instagram page with the caption, ‘In everything and everyone that is mentioned here, I will be disappointed if truly FALZ and his father are involved in this whole Bobrisky issue.'” You made some disparaging remarks about our client.
“To correct the record, our client never approached Mr. Idris Okuneye to have a talk. Documentary proof that Mr. Idris was the caller is available for our client to review. In particular, Mr. Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, phoned our client on May 4, 2024, asking to speak with him over the phone.
Knowing that he was facing accusations of Naira abuse, our client voluntarily provided assistance, sincere in his belief that he would need legal counsel. Soon later, Mr. Idris Okuneye (also known as Bobrisky) contacted, but instead of asking for legal counsel, he claimed to be in financial trouble and that he required N3,000,000 (three million Naira) in order to pay some officials in order to be allowed to stay in the VIP
“In the same conversation, our client advised him that there was no need to pay the Correctional Center officials any money,” the letter continued. But Mr. Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, claimed that his attorneys had damaged his case by pressing him to enter a guilty plea to the accusations brought against him. Mr. Idris Okuneye, sometimes known as Bobrisky, persisted in asking for the money, a request that our client consistently rejected.
“You published a careless statement containing multiple allegations, including the suggestion that our client is having an affair with a homosexual, without first getting in touch with our client and with the intention of obtaining a presidential pardon for Mr. Idris Okuneye.”
