A Lagos State High Court in Ikeja has ordered social media critic Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, to delete defamatory videos targeting renowned human rights lawyer Femi Falana, SAN. The court further instructed Otse to refrain from making any future comments about Falana or his family.

This ruling follows Falana's statement revealing that he had considered filing criminal charges against VeryDarkMan after the latter accused him of facilitating a pardon for cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky. The controversy began on September 24, 2024, when VeryDarkMan leaked a recorded voice call in which Bobrisky allegedly claimed that singer Falz had contacted him during his six-month jail term.

In response, the Falanas issued a formal letter demanding that VeryDarkMan retract his statements and issue an apology within 24 hours.
