Activist and social media influencer Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, remains resolute despite ongoing legal action from prominent human rights lawyer Femi Falana and his son, popular musician and activist Falz, over defamation allegations.
In a recent Instagram post, VeryDarkMan revealed his arrival in Lagos with his legal counsel, Deji Adeyanju, in preparation for the upcoming court hearing.
Scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m. at Ikeja High Court, the hearing addresses claims that VeryDarkMan defamed the Falana family by circulating unverified audio suggesting misconduct.
The controversy began when Verydarkman posted a recording in which crossdresser Bobrisky allegedly claimed that Falana and Falz had contacted her during her six-month sentence for naira abuse, reportedly offering to secure her a presidential pardon for ₦10 million.
Bobrisky, however, has denied the authenticity of the recording and threatened legal action against Otse, accusing him of defamation.

The Falana family has also demanded a public apology and retraction from Otse, cautioning him about potential legal repercussions.
Despite these demands, VeryDarkMan has stood firm, refusing to apologize. He insists his actions were intended to “expose corruption” rather than defame the Falana family.
“They (Falana and Falz) said I defamed them, but for me, it’s corruption I exposed,” Verydarkman stated in a video post.
“I see things that don’t make sense, like someone going to prison and not serving their jail term or the EFCC, which is supposed to catch people involved in corruption, collecting money.”
“That’s what I exposed. But sadly, some people (Falana and Falz) whose names were mentioned said I should have informed them before posting such things about them.
“They (Falana and Falz) asked me to apologise. I don’t see anything wrong with what I did, so I’m not apologising to anybody. If someone’s name is mentioned, they should clear their name.”
