Nigerian Human Rights lawyer Femi Falana has claimed that some people vowed to kill his daughter if online critic Vincent Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, is taken to court.
Recall that the Falanas and VDM locked horns after the critic allegedly made claims about the human rights lawyer and his rapper son, Folarin ‘Falz’ Falana, as he exposed Bobrisky on social media.
Just recently, Femi Falana had an interview with Sahara Reporters, during which he spoke about the ongoing drama with VDM.

According to the Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) the only disturbing thing about the situation was the safety of his children. Falana went on to say that some people had threatened to burn down his office and to kill his daughter if he took VDM to court.
Falana, however, added that he told his daughter not to worry about the threats because he has already taken up the matter. In his words:
“The only disturbing area in this scenario is the threat to me and one of my two daughters, some of these guys who I believe are mentally deranged had dared me, “if you go to court, we shall burn your office”. They have also sent messages to one of my daughters that if your father goes to court, we shall kill you. I beg your pardon! In this country?! I just laughed and told my girl, don’t worry, I will take it up and I’ve already taken that up because we must also let these guys know where we are coming from.”

Why VDM said Falz might be working with Bobrisky
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that VeryDarkMan finally reacted after Bobrisky slammed him with a N1 billion lawsuit.
In his reaction video, VDM claimed a conspiracy was going on and that it appeared Bobrisky and Falz were now working together.
He explained that he felt that way because after the rapper gave him 24 hours to apologise and retract his statement, Bobrisky went from acting depressed to getting bold enough to sue him.
