Folakemi Falana, daughter of human rights lawyer Femi Falana, has firmly denied claims of bribery and corruption involving her father, her brother, musician Falz, and socialite Bobrisky.
KanyiDaily recalls that VeryDarkMan shared audio recording where Bobrisky allegedly claimed that both Femi Falana and his son, Falz, had contacted him before his release from prison.
In the recordings, Bobrisky reportedly said that Femi Falana had helped negotiate a ₦10 million settlement to drop money laundering charges against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
These claims have been strongly denied by the Falana family, who have threatened legal action in response to the allegations.
In a post on Instagram, Folakemi Falana addressed the allegations, clarifying that her father has never had any interaction with Bobrisky.
She also explained that Bobrisky only contacted Falz for financial help during his time in prison, specifically to secure a spot in the VIP section, and there was no discussion about a presidential pardon.
To support her statement, Folakemi shared documents showing that since 2016, Falana & Falana Chambers has been providing free legal assistance to people seeking presidential pardons.
She emphasized that any Nigerian citizen can request a pardon for someone convicted, and her family’s involvement in such cases has always been transparent and done without charge.
Folakemi expressed her frustration with the false rumors circulating, especially those suggesting that Falz is gay or involved with Bobrisky.
She criticized how quickly some people believe unverified claims and urged the public to be more critical of the information they come across.
Falz sister wrote, “My Parents and our firm, Falana & Falana have been applying for presidential pardons for Nigerians FREE way before a lot of you were born or before you could talk. Slide 1 is from 2016 and Slide 2 is from 2022.
“It’s crazy that some Nigerians act like they can’t read or think for themselves. It’s unfortunate.
“It’s even crazier that all it takes is for a ridiculous character like VDM to accuse my dad and Falz of bribery, corruption and perversion of the course of Justice and you suddenly forget who they are and what they stand for. For him to have the audacity to go as far as even accusing Falz of being homosexual and having an affair with Bobrisky is wild. The fact that some of you believe it, is what is blowing my mind.
“For the record, anyone can write the president to request a pardon for any convicted person in Nigeria.
“To be crystal clear, the facts are as follows: 1) My dad has never met or talked to Bobrisky whether directly or via a proxy.
“2) Bobrisky reached out to Falz the same way he reached out to many other celebrities asking for money. The reason he gave was so that he could afford to stay in the VIP section of prison. He never discussed a presidential pardon with him. He said he was reaching out from prison Falz had no reason to believe otherwise.
“3) DO you think my dad or Falz need Bob’s money??? for what?.”
She condemned the false allegations and threatened legal action against VeryDarkMan, who had shared audio recordings where Bobrisky supposedly claimed that Femi Falana and Falz had contacted him before his release from prison.

KanyiDaily recalls that Bobrisky expressed readiness for any investigation regarding a viral video that claimed he served a six-month jail term in a private apartment.
