Court Adjourns Falana’s Suit Against Verydarkman Till Next Year

The defamation suit against social media influencer, Vincent Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, VDM has been adjourned till January 23, 2025.
The suit was adjourned on Thursday by a Lagos High Court.
The defamation suit was brought against VDM by human rights activist, Femi Falana and his son, Folarin, popularly known as Falz.
Recall that VDM had arrived in court dressed in a red native attire, surrounded by fans cheering him on, but the Falanas were absent.
It was gathered that the case could not proceed because most of the applications filed by the parties are not yet in the court file. The court had to adjourn the hearing to January 23, 2025.
Recall that on October 14, Justice Matthias Dawodu while ruling on an exparte application for an order of interim and preemptive remedy brought by the Falanas, held that they have legal rights to be protected from being slandered.
The court also ordered VDM to bring down the alleged defamatory video that he made on September 24, 2025, against the SAN and his son.
Justice Dawodu also restrained the self-acclaimed social media police from further releasing, publishing, or circulating any defamatory videos and comments against the senior lawyer and his son on all his online social media handles and pages pending the hearing of the suit filed by the duo.
The judge further ordered that all the processes in the matter be served on VeryDarkMan through his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju.
The Falanas had dragged the defendant before the court in separate suits, claiming N500 million each as damages over a video he posted on his social media platforms alleging that they collected N10 million from Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, to pervert the course of justice.
In their suits, the father and son submitted that the defendant knew all his comments were unverified and not true, yet he proceeded to publish the same to injure their reputation recklessly.
They also stated that the alleged defamatory publication is still trending on the defendant’s online handles and pages and as such, the injury to their reputation continues as long as the publication remains online.
In response, VDM applied to the court for leave to appeal the ruling.
He also submitted that a refusal by the court would amount to miscarriage of justice, as the case involves significant legal questions that merit further review.
He stated, “A refusal to grant leave may result in the enforcement of a decision that does not reflect a correct application of the law, leading to outcomes that may be detrimental not only to the parties involved but also to the administration of justice as a whole.
 
“The appellate court’s role in clarifying and, where necessary, correcting trial court decisions are vital in maintaining the integrity of the judicial system.”

“If you want trouble, it is my work” – Falz to Verydarkman

Nigerian rapper, Falz breaks his silence regarding the defamation case he filed against social media personality VeryDarkMan (VDM).

The case stems from allegations VDM made, claiming that Falz and his father, renowned human rights lawyer Femi Falana (SAN), helped popular crossdresser Bobrisky drop money laundering charges.

During a recent episode of the Afrobeats Podcast, Falz detailed his conversation with Verydarkman after the latter posted the viral video containing the defamatory claims. Falz explained that despite his attempts to calmly address the issue, VDM was defensive from the start.

“This guy was instantly defensive from the beginning; I’m like bro, try and listen. What are you instantly fighting about? And he said to me, without mincing words, ‘shebi you’re a lawyer; go to court,’”Falz recounted.

Falz also revealed that he had the option to pursue criminal charges for defamation but chose not to. “I’ll have you know that there’s a criminal angle to defamation, and I chose not to go that way. He could have very well been arrested. What you’ve posted is a load of bollocks, absolutely false, and I need you to take it down and offer an apology within a certain amount of time, and what did he do? Nothing.”

The rapper expressed his frustration, not only over the false claims but also over the disrespect directed at his father, Femi Falana, a lawyer known for advocating for the oppressed.

“I no dey find trouble Baba, I dey my dey. You set your ring light and begin dey talk all this nonsense about me, and you expect me to sit down? He trampled on everything my father stood for, sticking out his neck for the oppressed. So this level of disrespect? See our people say that any child who says his mother would not sleep, he himself would not sleep,” Falz said passionately.

“If you say you want to find trouble, trouble is my work. If you say that’s what you’re looking for, let’s go,” he added.

Return The Money to Don Jazzy – Man Orders VeryDarkMan

The Chief Press Secretary to the immediate past Kogi State Deputy Governor, Promise Emmanuel aka Kogi Rebel has lashed out at social critic, Very Dark Man.
He labeled him a hypocrite for accepting the N100 million music executive, DonJazzy, weeks after insulting and ridiculing the music executive for donating money to Bobrisky.
In a post shared on his Facebook page, Emmanuel wondered why VDM would accept money from a person who he insulted a few weeks back for sending money to cross-dresser, Bobrisky while he was in prison.
Kogi Rebel wrote:
‘’The man who lost total respect for Don Jazzy for sending BobRisky Money whilst he was in jail has collected a whopping sum of 100m from the same person he lost respect for without returning the money.
 
They say integrity,  I say it is subjective. I think for the right price or hue, people do the things they accuse others of doing. We all want the same thing in different ways, finding ways to justify our own actions in society.
They say it is charity.  It is more like thieves who take money from innocents and go to church to pay tithes or offerings. It’s like politicians who loot the treasury then sprinkle some good deeds here and there to be exonerated.
 
Nigerians will always shift the goal post because we are mostly a people divided by multiplural identity.
 
How can you take money for charity from someone you think is moral reprehensible for your tolerance?
 
VDM should kindly return the money to Don Jazzy. The same way he came through when he sought donation is the same way Bob asked for his help when he was in jail. Only a dumb person would think Bob told Don “Give me money to rent a 2 bedroom Duplex in Jail”.”
In a seperate post, he wrote
‘’Don Jazzy is free to send VerydarkMan money because he will use it to do giveway for Nigerians.  
 
But Don Jazzy cannot send Bob Risky money if he reaches out to him for help. A member of the entertainment community o.
 
How do some of you even think? Except your brains have been kept at Kuje prison, you’re the only one appropriating contexts because you’ve made a mortal god.
 
Disappointment no extend reach money?
 
The very idiotic netizens who think they can select who anyone helps with their own money because of their own moral prism is nauseating.  
 
If VDM doesn’t return Don’s money to extend is unparalleled Disappointment for helping Bob when he reached out to him as a member of the entertainment community,  then he is a hypocrite. He is only angry that the assistance went to Bob instead of him.
 
Today we don hear “bros” towards Don.
 
Money dey change tunes. Money dictates tunes o. All Don’s sin with Bob has been washed away. A pardon of Disappointment has been lifted because 100m inside NGO account no be small shekels.
 
Oya, insult me!”

N15m EFCC Bribery: Bobrisky Must Appear Before Reps – VeryDarkMan

Social media activist, Martins Ortse aka VeryDarkMan has stated that popular crossdresser, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky, must appear before the House of Representative.
He made the statement on Friday while reacting to the latest video by Bobrisky cautioning Nigerians against fighting their helpers on Instagram.
VeryDarkMan said the crossdresser has no reason not to appear before the committee because the footage has shown that he’s okay.
Posting on Instagram, VDM as he’s also referred to, said the House of Representatives committee conducting the hearing had summoned all parties involved in the matter on October 21, Monday.
Recently, VDM had released an audio of Bobrisky claiming to have allegedly bribed EFCC officials with the sum of N15 million.
During his conversation, Bobrisky also claimed not to have spent his six-month jail term in Kirikiri prison due to the influence of his godfather.
The revelation led to an investigative hearing by the House of Representatives, but Bobrisky failed to appear before the committee.
However, VeryDarkMan said: “In response to this video from Bobrisky, Nigerians can all see that he’s okay and we have all been invited again on October 21 to appear before the House of Representatives for further continuation of the investigative hearing.
 
“You must present yourself on Monday because we now know that you are okay and not what he was saying during the last hearing that he was ill.
 
“On Monday, we will know what really happened because people think the matter is dead, but I’m pushing harder to ensure that my lawyer, Adeyanju gets a date which we now have. So, on Monday Nigerians should expect one or two things in the House of Reps committee.”

Court Orders VeryDarkMan to Pay Falanas N500m

The Lagos State High Court has ordered controversial social media critic Martin Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan to pay lawyer and human rights activist Femi Falana (SAN) and his son, Folarin N500m.
This is according to a report by Punch. The court also ordered him to immediately remove all defamatory videos against Falana and his son.
The report added that the court also ordered him to pay the substantial sum of N500 million to Femi Falana and his son, Folarin, as compensation for libel, as detailed in the pre-action bundle of the judgment.
This ruling comes as part of a legal response to the allegations made by Otse, which were deemed harmful to the reputations of both Falana and his son.
The judgement was delivered by Justice M. O. Dawodu in suit no: ID/8584/GCM/2024 on Tuesday
According to him, the publications made by VeryDarkMan on his social media accounts on September 24, 2024, linking Bobrisky to Falz and his father were defamatory and injurious to their public image.
Dawodu stated, “According to the applicants (Falz and Falana), the defendant (VeryDarkMan) knew these statements (Bobrisky’s claims) were false and untrue but proceeded to publish them to injure their reputation.
 
“Furthermore, the defamatory statements are still trending on the defendant (VeryDarkMan)’s several online platforms and the injury to their reputation continues as long as the publication remains online.”
