N15 million bribery: Bobrisky never spoke with me- Falana

An human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has vehemently denied knowing or meeting the popular crossdresser, Idris Okuneye known as Bobrisky.

Falana specifically said he never spoke or met him.

A blogger, Martins Otse known as VeryDarkMan, had in a viral video, alleged that Falana sought a presidential pardon for Bobrisky in exchange for N10 million.

But speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Falana denied ever meeting Bobrisky or speaking to him.

“Bobrisky never spoke to me, I have never met him, I do not know him from Adam. He was alleged to have spoken to my son Folarin (Falz).

“My son actually told me he spoke with him around May or thereabout, saying he (Bobrisky) needed a sum of N3 million to bribe the prison authority so as to allow him stay in a VIP lodge.

“And my son told Bobrisky to be very careful since he was already in jail for an offense. He told Bobrisky if had to speak with him in another time, he had to write a letter through prison authorities.

“Somebody now said he listened to a tape somewhere and went out to lampoon or defame me by saying Bobrisky spoke to me.

“My son never negotiated fees on behalf of anybody. On the contrary, my three children always refer people who need assistance to me.”
