Dawodu in favour of human rights lawyer Femi Falana (SAN) and his son, Folarin Falana, also known as Falz, in an alleged defamation suit.<\/p>\n<p>Falana and his son filed a lawsuit against VeryDarkMan, demanding a retraction of allegedly defamatory statements made against them in a recorded conversation involving popular cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, regarding financial assistance and legal intervention when Bobrisky was detained for naira abuse.<\/p>\n<p>In a letter dated September 26, 2024, signed by Taiwo Olawanle and posted on Falz\u2019s Instagram page, Falana\u2019s legal team addressed VeryDarkMan, the author of the social media post alleging that Falz was involved in a scheme to secure a presidential pardon for Bobrisky, who has faced legal troubles.<\/p>\n<p>According to documents, Bobrisky allegedly requested legal advice and financial assistance from Falz, asking for N3 million to pay correctional centre officials to secure VIP treatment during his detention.<\/p>\n<p>In the ruling on October 14, Justice Dawodu directed VeryDarkMan, his agents, and associates to remove the defamatory video and comments about the Falanas, published on September 24, 2024, from all his social media handles and pages, pending compliance with the court\u2019s pre-action protocol.<\/p>\n<p>The court also restrained him from further releasing, publishing, or circulating any defamatory videos or comments about the Falanas.<\/p>\n<p>However, VeryDarkMan, in two separate motions on Monday, marked ID\/8584\/GCM\/2024 (between him and Falz) and ID\/8586\/GCM\/2024 (where Femi Falana is the sole respondent), sought an order from the court to extend the time to seek leave to appeal the court\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n<p>In the motion, based on seven grounds and dated October 18, VeryDarkMan argued that \u201cthe court order was based solely on the respondent\u2019s affidavit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Being an interlocutory order, the court\u2019s permission to exercise his constitutional right to appeal is required.<\/p>\n<p>He contended that while \u201cit is at the court\u2019s discretion to grant or refuse leave to appeal, such discretion should be exercised judicially and judiciously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that a refusal by the court would amount to a miscarriage of justice, as the case involves significant legal questions that merit further review.<\/p>\n<p>He stated, \u201cA refusal to grant leave may result in the enforcement of a decision that does not reflect a correct application of the law, leading to outcomes that may be detrimental not only to the parties involved but also to the administration of justice as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe appellate court\u2019s role in clarifying and, where necessary, correcting trial court decisions is vital in maintaining the integrity of the judicial system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an affidavit deposed to by legal practitioner Oladimeji Joseph, he stated that he is aware of the court\u2019s specific findings regarding VeryDarkMan\u2019s inability to compensate the claimant if the judgment goes against him, and therefore seeks to appeal the court\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph further stated, \u201cI know for a fact that leave from this Honourable Court must be obtained before the Defendant can appeal against the ruling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Defendant has 14 days from the date of the ruling within which he must seek the leave of this Honourable Court and file an appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He urged the court to grant the applicant\u2019s request.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Court had earlier directed VeryDarkMan, his agents, and associates to remove the defamatory video and comments about
