    Falana Denies Speaking with Bobrisky Over Bribery Allegations

    Published on

    By AAior K. Comfort

    Lagos lawyer Femi Falana has refuted claims of any involvement in bribery related to prison arrangements or money laundering charges against Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky. This denial follows allegations made in a viral video by blogger Martins Otse (also known as VeryDarkMan), which suggested that certain officers of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) received N15 million from Bobrisky to dismiss the money laundering charge against him.

    The video further alleged that Falana sought a presidential pardon for Bobrisky in exchange for N10 million. However, during an appearance on Channels Television’s “Politics Today,” monitored by The Nation, Falana firmly dismissed these accusations, stating, “Bobrisky never spoke to me. I have never met him. I do not know him from Adam. He was alleged to have spoken to my son, Folarin (Falz).”

    Falana clarified that Bobrisky had approached his son on May 4, requesting N3 million to be placed in a specific part of the prison.
