I didn’t defame Uncle Femi Falana, he is somebody I respect 100%. I only reacted to the Bobrisky audio clip – VDM (video)

Social critic, Martise Vincent Otse aka Very Dark Man, has denied claims that he defamed legal expert, Femi Falana, SAN.

 

In a video he posted on his Instagram page last night, VDM said Falana is someone he respects so much because of what he has used his position as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria SAN to do by representing the likes of people like him who speak against the ills in the society, abuse of power and the bad dealings of government.

‘’One other person he represented that made me love him was Fela Anikulapo Kuti who is a role model to me. I saw the way he spoke fearlessly and I emulated everything and I said if I will be on this earth, I will say it the way I see it and I will say it straight up. So imagine Uncle Femi Falana defending somebody like Fela. Imagine somebody like Fela. I mean, Fela came and said Muhammadu Buhari is an animal, and Muhammadu Buhari was the Head of State and Uncle Femi Falana was his lawyer. How dare will I defame him? I only reacted to the call Bobrisky made. He, Bobrisky was the one that alleged that Uncle Femi Falana and Falz collected N10 million and what I said was that I chose not to believe that Uncle Femi Falana would be associated with that and If he was, I would be disappointed.” VDM said in the video

 

VDM added that he had the option of cutting out the part of the video where Mr Femi Falana and his son, rapper Falz were mentioned, however, he decided against it because he wanted a thorough investigation to be carried out.
