The well-known human rights lawyer Femi Falana’s daughter, Folakemi Falana, has addressed claims of corruption and bribery involving her father, brother Falz, and Nigerian socialite Bobrisky.
Folakemi stressed in an Instagram statement that her father had never spoken to Bobrisky. Instead, Bobrisky did not mention a presidential pardon when he contacted Falz to request financial support to remain in the VIP jail area.
In order to emphasise the transparency of presidential pardons and their legality, Folakemi also published papers that showed her family’s legal practice, Falana & Falana, submitting free presidential pardon applications since 2016.
Folakemi voiced her displeasure at Nigerians accepting unsubstantiated rumours, like as those about Falz’s purported homosexuality and relationship with Bobrisky. She called the charges unfounded and threatened to sue VeryDarkMan (VDM); as a result, he declined to take the necessary measures and issue an apology.
In her 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.”
