Human rights activist, Femi Falana SAN has revealed that threats have been made against him and his family regarding the saga involving self-acclaimed social media activist, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, and controversial crossdresser, Okuneye Idris aka Bobrisky.

VeryDarkMan had allegedly accused Falana of attempting to secure Bobrisky’s release from prison after his conviction in April.

Although he dxenied this, he however disclosed that he has received threats from intimidators if he approaches the court, describing those behind the threats as ‘mentally deranged’.

“The only disturbing area in this scenario is the threat to me and one of my two daughters. Some of these guys who I believe are mentally deranged have dared me, ‘If you like, if you go to court, we shall burn your office.’

“They have also sent messages to one of my daughters that, ‘if your father goes to court, we shall kill you.’

“I beg your pardon in this country?”

“I just laughed and I asked my daughter, don’t worry, I will take it up,” he said.

Falana also disclosed the launch of a thorough action, emphasising his determination to thwart the threats and ensure that justice prevails.

“I have already taken that up because we must also let these guys know where we are coming from.”
