Nigerian socialite Bobrisky has addressed the controversy surrounding his alleged bribery of human rights lawyer Femi Falana and his son, musician Falz.
In a statement issued on his Instagram story section on Wednesday, Bobrisky denied any wrongdoing and clarified his stance on the matter.
The controversy surrounds alleged claims that Falz and Femi Falana offered Bobrisky a presidential pardon for N10 million during his six-month sentence for naira abuse. Falana’s team deemed these statements false and defamatory, damaging his reputation.
