Social critic Martin Otse, aka VDM, has responded to the threat of legal action by Femi Falana’s daughter, Folake, with a defiant tone.
In a video posted on his Instagram page, VDM expressed surprise that the Falanas have shifted the focus from the alleged corruption he exposed to attacking him personally.
He maintained that his comments were based on the audio recording allegedly featuring Bobrisky and a man discussing a bribe to drop money laundering charges.
Moreover, VDM questioned why the Falanas are more concerned with protecting their reputation than addressing the corruption allegations.
He emphasized that his initial statement was conditional, stating that he would lose respect for them if the allegations were true.
VDM argued that he did not accuse Femi Falana or Falz directly but rather expressed his disappointment if the allegations were true.
He dared the Falanas to take him to court, stating that he is prepared to face the consequences, even if it means being locked up for six months or a year.
Furthermore, VDM’s response highlights the importance of fact-checking and responsible communication.
His failure to thoroughly research the allegations and ensure their accuracy has led to this legal confrontation.
This incident serves as a lesson for VDM and others to verify information before sharing it publicly to avoid causing harm to others’ reputations.
As VDM said, “I will not apologize for something I didn’t say.
I will not retract what I didn’t say.”
The outcome of this legal battle remains to be seen, but it emphasizes the need for responsible communication and fact-checking in today’s digital age.
