Court orders VeryDarkMan to delete ‘defamatory’ posts against Falana
Justice M.O Dawodu of an Ikeja high court has issued an interim order restraining social critic, Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, from further circulating or publishing any defamatory video or comments against legal expert, Femi Falana.
Ruling on an ex parte application on Monday, October 14, the presiding judge ordered VeryDarkMan to delete “defamatory comments and videos” concerning Falana from all his social media pages.
While giving the ruling on Monday, the judge also ruled that the Falanas can serve VDM court papers through his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju. The court also held that Falana has 14 days to file the pre-action bundle on VDM’s lawyer and gave the order for VDM to delete any defamatory post against Falana on his page within 14 days from when this order was given.
Recall that on Tuesday September 24th, VDM released a purported audio conversation between Bobrisky and a male friend in which Bob claimed he spoke with Falz while he was in prison and that Falz and his dad, Femi Falana, SAN, tried to get him a presidential pardon for an exchange of N10 million.
VDM, in his reaction, expressed disgust at Falz and his father for associating with Bobrisky and even asked if Falz ‘dey do’’, a comment some have interpreted to him questioning Falz’s sexuality.
The Falanas have since denied helping Bobrisky to facilitate any presidential pardon. Falz in a statement from his father’s chambers on September 25, confirmed that Bobrisky reached out to him on May 4 to ask for N3 million to secure a VIP section in the prison. He said he refused to give Bobrisky any money. Falz stated that VDM’s comment portrayed him to be a homos£xual, one to pervert the cause of justice and a complicit in the upturning of justice for financial gains.The rapper also argued that VDM also portrayed him as a fake human rights activist without contacting him to hear his side of the story.
Femi Falana denied ever speaking to Bobrisky or having any dealings with him. He has also stated that his chambers never charge a dime to secure a presidential pardon.
A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, has claimed that he did not offend President Bola Tinubu.
Aminu Tambuwal, former governor of Sokoto State, is currently being quizzed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in Abuja.
The Cable reports that Tambuwal, a former governor and currently a serving senator, is in detention over alleged fraudulent cash withdrawals to the tune of N189 billion.
The development comes after the African Democratic Congress, ADC, alleged that EFCC was carrying out selective investigations targeting opposition politicians.
In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party claimed that recent EFCC summons to senior members of the opposition coalition were politically motivated and linked to their political affiliations.
According to ADC, some of the cases being pursued are not based on new evidence but involve reopening files from past years.

BREAKING: Nigerian Senator Ibrahim Musa Kontagora D1es After Abuja Hospital Denies Surgery Over $15,000 Bill
In a devastating turn of events that’s igniting outrage across the nation, Senator Ibrahim Musa Kontagora has sadly passed away after a private hospital in Abuja allegedly refused to perform a crucial surgery due to his inability to pay a $15,000 (around ₦23 million) medical bill upfront.
The former senator was in dire need of a life-saving operation, but reports indicate that the medical team wouldn’t move forward without full payment — even in his critical state. Just moments later, he was pronounced dead.
This heartbreaking incident has reignited a national conversation about:
The failing state of Nigeria’s healthcare system, the ruthless commercialization of essential medical care
The growing divide between the political elite and the struggling masses
Despite being a former senator, Kontagora became yet another casualty of a system that views healthcare as a luxury rather than a fundamental right.
Critics are demanding immediate reform and asking:
“If a senator can be left to die over a bill, what hope do ordinary Nigerians have?”
Nigerians deserve answers; they deserve better.
They deserve a healthcare system that prioritizes life over profit.
