- Folakemi Falana defends her family against bribery and corruption claims involving Bobrisky.
- She affirmed that her father, Femi Falana, never met Bobrisky, and Bobrisky asked Falz for prison VIP section securement, not a presidential pardon.
- Folakemi further declared her intention to take legal action against VDM as he has refused to do the needful.
Folakemi Falana, daughter of renowned human rights lawyer Femi Falana, has responded to accusations of bribery and corruption involving her father, brother Falz, and Nigerian socialite Bobrisky.
In a statement on Instagram, Folakemi emphasized that her father had never interacted with Bobrisky. Instead, Bobrisky reached out to Falz for financial assistance to stay in the VIP prison section, without mentioning a presidential pardon.
Stressing the openness on presidential pardon and how legal it is, Folakemi also shared documents showcasing her family’s law firm, Falana & Falana, applying for presidential pardons free of charge since 2016.
Folakemi expressed frustration with Nigerians believing unfounded claims, including Falz’s alleged homosexuality and affair with Bobrisky. She condemned the accusations as baseless and threatened legal action against VeryDarkMan (VDM) hence he refused to do the needful by apologizing and retracting his statements.
In his words:
“My Parents and our firm, Falana & Falana have been applying for presidential pardons for Nigerians absolutely FREE way before a lot of you were born or before you could talk. Slide 1 is from 2016 and Slide 2 is from 2022.
It’s crazy that some Nigerians act like they can’t read or think for themselves. It’s unfortunate.
It’s even crazier that all it takes is for a ridiculous character like VDM to accuse my dad and Falz of bribery, corruption and perversion of the course of Justice and you suddenly forget who they are and what they stand for. For him to have the audacity to go as far as even accusing Falz of being homosexual and having an affair with Bobrisky is wild. The fact that some of you actually believe it, is what is blowing my mind.
For the record, anyone can write the president to request a pardon for any convicted person in Nigeria. You dont even need to be a lawyer to apply for a pardon. THAT SAID, BOBRISKY NEVER APPROACHED ANYONE IN MY FAMILY OR OUR FIRM FOR A PRESIDENTIAL PARDON.
TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR, THE FACTS ARE AS FOLLOWS :
1) MY DAD HAS NEVER MET OR TALKED TO BOBRISKY WHETHER DIRECTLY OR VIA A PROXY
2) BOBRISKY REACHED OUT TO FALZ THE SAME WAY HE REACHED OUT TO MANY OTHER CELEBRITIES ASKING FOR MONEY. THE REASON HE GAVE WAS SO THAT HE AFFORD TO STAY IN THE VIP SECTION OF PRISON. HE NEVER EVER DISCUSSED A PRESIDENTIAL PARDON WITH HIM. HE SAID HE WAS REACHING OUT FROM PRISON FALZ HAD NO REASON TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE.
3) DO YOU REALLY THINK MY DAD OR FALZ NEED BOB’s MONEY??? FOR WHAT?
Seeing as you have refused to do the needful, @verydarkblackman see you in court.”
