Human rights lawyer Femi Falana receives threats, denies Bobrisky meeting amid VeryDarkMan controversy.

Femi Falana, a renowned senior advocate of Nigeria, has been receiving threats due to his decision to take legal action against VeryDarkMan, a controversial activist. This development comes after VeryDarkMan shared an audio recording allegedly featuring Bobrisky, a popular crossdresser, claiming that Falana and his son, Falz, contacted her during her six-month prison sentence for naira abuse.

In the recording, Bobrisky purportedly stated that she spoke with Falz in prison and alleged that Falz and his father attempted to secure a presidential pardon for her in exchange for N10 million.

It's essential to note that Femi Falana is a well-known human rights activist and lawyer with a strong track record of advocating for justice and defending the oppressed. As the father of popular rapper Falz, Femi Falana has been vocal about various social and political issues in Nigeria.

“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.
