Alleged N10m pardon deal: ‘I didn’t defame you’ – Bobrisky reacts to Falana’s ultimatum
Controversial crossdresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has responded to the 12-hour ultimatum issued by human rights lawyer Femi Falana and his son, singer Falz.
Falana and Falz had sent a cease-and-desist letter on October 16, 2024, demanding that Bobrisky retract his defamatory claim, which was revealed in an audio leaked by social media critic VeryDarkMan.
In reaction, Bobrisky took to his Instagram story on Wednesday night, denying the defamation allegations and rejecting the demand for a retraction and public apology.
“In reply to the two letters in circulation from the law firm of the Falanas’, I like to state for the record and pending the official reply from my counsel, state for the avoidance of doubt that I, Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, aka Bobrisky, did not publish any defamatory statements concerning the learned SAN, Falana and his son Falz.
“And that it is in the public domain pursuant to my solicitor’s letter dated 27th of September 2024 that I have denied any knowledge of what VeryDarkMan published.
“I stand by my express denial and advise whoever has been defamed to hold the publisher of the defamatory content. My fundamental rights to privacy of communications should be respected and protected.” [sic].
