Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has denied having anything to do with popular crossdresser, Idris Okuneye known as Bobrisky and his alleged bribing of prison officials to serve his prison sentence outside the correctional facility. Remember we told you how VDM released 2nd part of the leaked audio. speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Falana denied ever meeting Bobrisky or speaking to him.
“Bobrisky never spoke to me, I have never met him, I do not know him from Adam. He was alleged to have spoken to my son Folarin (Falz),” Falana said.
He further narrated, “Yes, my son said this guy was appealing to people for assistance and called my son I think on May 4 this year – please can you give me N3 million to be placed in a special part of the prison, we call it the VIP section.
“My son asked him, are you calling me under the authorization of the superintendent of prisons? He said no – please don’t call me again, I am unable to assist you to bribe the prison authorities and be very careful since you are already in prison for an offense.
“Please if you are you are going to call me next time, you either do it through the superintendent or you write a letter endorsed by the prison authorities and that was the last. Somebody now started releasing tapes somewhere and went out to lampoon and rather defame me by saying the guy has spoken to me.”
On the alleged corruption in the correctional service, Falana said that no one has done more than him in exposing the rot in Nigerian correctional centres.
He expressed surprise that the House of Representatives is setting up a panel to ascertain the condition of the correctional centers in the country.
