Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana says he has never met or spoken with Idris Okuneye, a popular crossdresser known as Bobrisky.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen on Thursday, Falana said Bobrisky called his son Falz to seek financial assistance for a VIP section in prison.
Recently, VeryDarkMan, the controversial activist, shared a purported audio conversation wherein Bobrisky claimed that Falana and Falz contacted her while she was serving a six-month sentence for naira abuse.
In the recording, Bobrisky alleged that she spoke with Falz in prison and that the rapper and his father “tried to get me a presidential pardon in exchange for N10,000,000″.
The activist, whose real name is Martins Vincent Otse, said he has lost the respect he had for Falana over his alleged involvement in the matter.
Bobrisky has since denied the recording and threatened to sue VeryDarkMan for defamation.
Falana and Falz have threatened to institute legal action against the activist if he refuses to retract his comments and apologise.
Reacting to questions during his appearance on the programme, Falana described the action VeryDarkMan took as “infantile radicalism”.
The senior lawyer said he has assisted 280 convicted persons to secure pardon without collecting a dime from them.
Falana narrated how he facilitated pardon for convicted soldiers in Nigeria and 200 Nigerians in Libya found guilty of drug-related offences.
The human rights lawyers said he will pursue civil procedure on the defamatory statement against him to deter other social media users.
