Recall that VeryDarkMan had publicly apologized to Femi Falana amid bribery allegations.
The apology came during VeryDarkMan’s appearance before the House of Representatives Joint Committee on Financial Crimes and Reformatory Institutions on Monday.
The activsit faced backlash after insinuating Falana’s involvement in bribery allegations put forth by crossdresser Idris Okuneye, known as Bobrisky.
During his testimony, VeryDarkMan expressed his disbelief over the claims and distanced Falana from the accusations.
“Apparently now, some people are taking advantage of what is going to target Femi Falana,” VeryDarkMan said.
“Here, I apologise. It’s so sad that his name was inside that audio. I couldn’t believe it as well; that is the part that irritated me more, which I said I refuse to believe that he is a party to something like that.”
