Ahead of the court hearing of a defamation lawsuit filed against him, popular social media critic, VeryDarkMan, a.k.a. VDM, has denied defaming human rights lawyer Femi Falana and his son, singer Falz.
September, VDM shared a leaked audio in which crossdresser Bobrisky implicated Falz and his father.
In the controversial leaked audio, Bobrisky alleged that Falz and his father contacted him while he was imprisoned at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre to facilitate a “presidential pardon” for N10 million.
Falana and Falz, however, denied the claim and demanded that VeryDarkMan issue an apology and retract his statement, which they described as “defamatory,” within 24 hours.
Following his failure to retract the statement and apologize, the Lagos State High Court ordered VDM to delete the alleged defamatory post ahead of the substantive suit’s hearing at Ikeja High Court in Lagos on Thursday, November 14, 2024.
Meanwhile, in a new video posted on his Instagram page, VDM, who noted that he will not apologize, reiterated that the video he posted was to expose corruption in Nigeria and urged the Falanas to clear their names.
