BREAKING: Falana finally reveals what transpired between Falz and Bobrisky

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria and Human Rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has stated that he does not know a controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky and does not have any business dealings with him.

He then revealed what transpired between Bob and his son, Falz.

Background story

In a viral audio posted by a blogger, Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, Bobrisky had claimed that he bribed some Economic and Financial Crimes Commission officials with N15 million to drop the money laundering charge against her.

In the purported recording, the crossdresser also claimed that her “godfather,” alongside the Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Haliru Nababa, ensured she served the six-month sentence in a private apartment and not in prison.

Sharing his opinion on the development, VeryDarkMan alleged that Falana sought a presidential pardon for Bobrisky in exchange for N10 million.

However, the blogger, who appeared before the House of Representatives Joint Committee on Financial Crimes and Reformatory Institutions on Monday, apologised to Falana over his recent derogatory innuendos against him.

But speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Falana denied having anything to do with Bobrisky or ever meeting or speaking with the crossdresser.

The senior lawyer said he has assisted 280 convicted people both home and abroad in getting a pardon, and never on any occasion has he or his law firm demanded or received a dime from anybody granted a pardon.

What transpired between Falz and Bobrisky

He said, “Bobrisky never spoke to me, I have never met him, I do not know him from Adam. He was alleged to have spoken to my son Folarin (Falz).

“Yes, my son said this guy was appealing to people for assistance and called my son I think on May 4 this year – please can you give me N3 million to be placed in a special part of the prison, we call it the VIP section.

“My son asked him, are you calling me under the authorization of the superintendent of prisons? He said no – please don’t call me again, I am unable to assist you to bribe the prison authorities and be very careful since you are already in prison for an offence.

“Please if you are you are going to call me next time, you either do through the superintendent or you write a letter endorsed by the prison authorities and that was the last. Somebody now start releasing tapes somewhere and went out to lampoon and rather defame me by saying the guy has spoken to me.”
