Nigeria: Leave Falz, Femi Falana Out of This, Face Bobrisky - Comedian Deeone Tells Verydarkman

25 September 2024

Comedian DeeOne has cautioned popular activist, VeryDarkMan to leave singer Falz and his father Femi Falana out of the ongoing saga involving Bobrisky and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Recall EFCC launched an investigation into allegations that some of its officers received N15 million from Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, to dismiss money laundering charges against him.

The investigation, ordered by EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede, follows a viral audio recording in which Bobrisky, an ex-convict, made these claims. The recording was produced by VeryDarkMan.

In the recording, Bobrisky made claims that Falz and his father reached out to him and said he (Bobrisky) could apply for pardon which would prevent him from serving the full term of his sentence.

Reacting, DeeOne said there was nothing wrong in what Falz and Femi Falana did in intervening in the case.

He said, "There is no need to drag Falz, drag his father; it makes no sense; because Bobrisky is your enemy does not mean everybody in the whole world should hate him. When DammyKrane had problems, why did you reach out to Davido to pardon him? In the first place, if Bobrisky had a lawyer like Femi Falana, do you think he would have gone to prison? There is nothing wrong, if Falz had called his daddy to intervene in the matter."

EFCC has, however, invited Bobrisky and Otse to the commission's Lagos Directorate to assist in uncovering the truth behind the allegations.

Bobrisky's claims come after previous legal issues, including a six-month prison sentence for mutilating and spraying Naira notes at social events.
