Alleged Defamation: Court Strikes Out Falana’s Suit Against VDM

According to Ekwutosblog An Ikeja High Court on Tuesday struck out the defamation suit filed against an Instagram activist Martins Otse, also known as Verydarkman (VDM).

Ekwutosblog  reports that a human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) and his son, otherwise called Falz, had filed the defamation suit against VDM.

Mr Falana filed the suit following an alleged audio recording made by a cross-dresser, Idris Okunneye, also known as Bobrisky, bordering on justice perversion by Mr Falana and his son.

The claimants demanded N500 million each as damages over a video VDM posted on his social media platforms on the issue.

The case was called on Tuesday, but Falana, his son and VDM were absent in court.

However, counsel to the respondent, Niyi Alagbe, holding brief for Marvin Omorogbe, informed the court that he had earlier filed an application for stay of proceedings before Justice Fimisola Azeez.
