Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has spoken on alleged ties with the controversial Nigerian crossdresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky.
In an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today, Falana clarified that he has never dealt with Bobrisky and revealed that his son, Folarin Falana, also known as Falz, had spoken with Bobrisky in a brief phone conversation.
Falana detailed that Bobrisky, currently in legal trouble, had allegedly contacted Falz on May 4 to seek assistance in moving into the VIP section of the prison.
“My son asked him, ‘Are you calling under the authorization of the superintendent of prisons?’ to which Bobrisky responded negatively,” Falana recounted in his words.
Falz reportedly refused to assist in the request, warning Bobrisky to follow proper channels if he contacted him again.
Falana emphasized that he has helped 280 convicted individuals without ever demanding payment, rejecting the blogger’s defamatory claims.
DAILY GIST recalls that Bobrisky had indicted Falana and his son, Falz in a leaked bribery audio released by social media activitist, VeryDarkMan.
In the audio, Falana allegedly solicits a presidential pardon for Bobrisky in exchange for N10 million through Falz.
Verydarkman has since apologised during a House of Representatives hearing, retracting his claims.
