●Demands Public Apology In 24 Hours
Nigerian crossdresser, Bobrisky, has filed a lawsuit against social media personality Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, in a bid to seek N1 billion in damages for defamation and blackmail.
Osun Defender recalls that EFCC Chairman, Mr. Ola Olukoyede had initiated an investigation on Tuesday into an alleged bribery allegation made by Bobrisky against some Commission’s officers.
In a viral audio recording shared online by VeryDarkMan, Bobrisky alleged that some EFCC officers extorted N15 million from him in exchange for dropping money laundering charges against him.
However, Bobrisky has denied the authenticity of the audio, claiming it was an AI-generated fabrication aimed at damaging his reputation.
In a formal letter issued on Sunday by his legal representatives, R.T. Omuvwie & Co., Bobrisky accused VeryDarkMan of using his name and image to gain social media attention, saying that the viral audio and associated commentary had caused significant harm to his public image, brand, and personal life.
In the letter, Bobrisky demands that VeryDarkMan immediately retract the AI-generated audio and all defamatory statements.
Bobrisky also demands a public apology to be published in two national newspapers and across all of VeryDarkMan’s social media channels, along with a written commitment to cease further defamatory publications and N1 billion in damages.
