Prominent human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has revealed that he has been receiving threats after announcing his intention to take legal action against controversial activist VeryDarkMan.

The case stems from a recent audio recording where Bobrisky, a popular Nigerian crossdresser, allegedly implicated Falana and his son, Falz, in an effort to secure her a presidential pardon in exchange for N10 million.

In the purported conversation, Bobrisky, who claimed to have spoken to Falz while serving a six-month sentence for naira abuse, said both the rapper and his father had attempted to negotiate her release.

The recording was shared by activist VeryDarkMan, whose real name is Martins Vincent Otse.

Following the release, VeryDarkMan stated that he had lost respect for Falana over the allegations.

However, Bobrisky has since denied the claims, threatening to sue VeryDarkMan for defamation, while Falana and Falz have also demanded a retraction and public apology from the activist.

In an interview with Sahara Reporters on Monday, Falana disclosed that he has been receiving threats, including messages threatening to burn his office and harm his daughter, if he proceeds with legal action.

“The only disturbing area in this scenario is the threat to me and one of my two daughters,” Falana said.

“Some of these guys, who I believe are mentally deranged, had dared me saying, ‘If you go to court, we shall burn your office’. They have also sent messages to one of my daughters that ‘If your father goes to court, we shall kill you.’

“I beg your pardon, in this country? I just laughed, and I asked my girl not to worry; I will take it up. I have already taken it up. We must also let these guys know where we are coming from.”
