Social critic Martise Vincent Otse, popularly known as Very Dark Man, has come out to deny claims that he defamed renowned legal expert Femi Falana, SAN. In a recent video posted on his Instagram page, Very Dark Man expressed his utmost respect for Falana, citing his fearless advocacy for justice and human rights.
Very Dark Man revealed that Falana’s representation of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, a role model to him, further solidified his admiration. He praised Falana’s courage in defending Fela, who had openly criticized Muhammadu Buhari, then Head of State .
The controversy began when Very Dark Man reacted to an audio clip featuring Bobrisky, who alleged that Falana and his son, Falz, received N10 million to facilitate his pardon ² ¹ ³. Very Dark Man clarified that he didn’t intend to defame Falana but rather sought the truth behind Bobrisky’s claims.
Very Dark Man chose not to edit out the mentions of Falana and Falz from the video, emphasizing his desire for a thorough investigation into the matter ¹. This move aims to uncover the facts surrounding Bobrisky’s allegations and ensure accountability.
Falz has since issued a 24-hour ultimatum to Very Dark Man, demanding a retraction of the defamatory statements and a public apology ². The rapper denied any involvement in Bobrisky’s case and threatened legal action if the claims weren’t withdrawn.
The situation remains unfolding, with many watching to see how it will play out. Will Very Dark Man retract his statements, or will the investigation reveal more about Bobrisky’s allegations?
