My Client Did Not Defame You, He Only Wanted Relevant Agencies To Probe Allegations Made By Bobrisky

Deji Adeyanju, a Nigerian human rights activist and legal representative of controversial social media activist, Martins Otse aka VeryDarkMan, has denied accusations that his client defamed renowned lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN).

In a statement released on Wednesday night, Adeyanju said VDM didn’t defame Falana but rather, ‘published the said communication with a view to getting the relevant agencies and Mr Falana to investigate the allegations Bobrisky made in the said voice recording.’

He stated that VDM holds Falana in high esteem and wants the senior lawyer to probe the allegations made by Bobrisky instead of pursuing a case of defamation against the social media activist.

Bobrisky in the purported audio clip had alleged that Falana was working on helping him secure a presidential pardon and had asked for 10 million Naira to complete the job.
