VeryDarkMan, the controversial activist, has responded to social media celebrity “Bobrisky” after receiving a N1 billion lawsuit threat for alleged defamation.
Earlier on Sunday, “Bobrisky’s” legal team issued a document accusing “VeryDarkMan” of releasing an AI-generated recording aimed at damaging her reputation. The document demanded a retraction and an apology within 24 hours.
In response, “VeryDarkMan” claimed via an Instagram post that he obtained the WhatsApp conversation from someone “Bobrisky” had allegedly contacted.
The activist questioned “Bobrisky’s” sudden strength despite her previous suicidal thoughts and threatened to countersue the crossdresser for N1,000,000,020, humorously intending to make a gain of N20.
“VeryDarkMan” also warned that the integrity of many would be compromised during the legal battle.
“Bobrisky, did you not say you wanted to ‘kpai’ yourself? Are you not doing it again? Anyway, in this case, they will exchange their credibility for my publicity again as usual. I will suffer them. The integrity of a lot of people will go down. You will hate why you take this case like this. I promise you that. From now, Bobrisky now has the strength to sue me and gave me 24 hours. That means they are working together. I am thinking what I have exposed is bigger than what it is,” he said.
“Did Bobrisky later pay someone N3 million when he did not get it from Falz? I can stand for myself anywhere. Bobrisky has sued me N1 billion but I will caricature it more with N1,000,000,020 billion and N20 gain. I will make all of you stupid in this country.
“WhatsApp calls are encrypted. How many hours did Bobrisky get to talk to Falz for that long? If he had such a long time to talk to the other person I got this recording from, and called other people from prison, how many times did you give him the phone?”
The saga involving “Bobrisky” began on Tuesday after “VeryDarkMan,” born Martins Otse, shared a purported audio recording online in which “Bobrisky” allegedly claimed to have bribed some Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) officials with N15,000,000 to drop charges against her.
“Bobrisky,” whose birth name is “Idris Okuneye,” was released from prison on August 5 after being sentenced to six months on April 12 for abusing the naira.
In the footage shared by the activist, the crossdresser claimed her “godfather,” alongside “Haliru Nababa,” the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) controller general, ensured she served the six-month sentence in a private apartment instead of in prison.
Reacting to the viral recording, “Bobrisky” described it as “fake” and denied paying any amount to the anti-graft agency.
“Bobrisky’s” denial came after the anti-graft agency invited her and “VeryDarkMan” over the bribery allegations against its officials.
“Ola Olukoyede,” the EFCC chairman, also ordered an immediate investigation into the allegations.
“Bobrisky” had earlier revealed that she was contemplating suicide.
The federal government has since suspended two officials of the NCoS over bribery allegations involving the crossdresser.
