Bobrisky Sues VeryDarkMan for N1 Billion: All You Need to Know

Bobrisky, a Nigerian socialite and cross-dresser, has filed a lawsuit against VeryDarkMan, an internet activist and influencer, seeking N1 billion in damages. This legal action follows allegations where VeryDarkMan reportedly used an AI-generated audio call to make defamatory claims against Bobrisky. According to Bobrisky’s legal team, VeryDarkMan has been using Bobrisky’s name for personal gain and has accused him falsely in various contexts, including implying corrupt activities with law enforcement and political figures without evidence.

The lawsuit demands several actions from VeryDarkMan, including:

• Removal of the AI-generated audio and related defamatory content from social media.
• A written apology published in national newspapers.
• A video apology shared across VeryDarkMan’s social media platforms.
• A commitment to cease publishing defamatory content against Bobrisky.
• Payment of N1 billion in damages.

This legal battle comes amidst other related actions:

• The House of Representatives in Nigeria has decided to investigate bribery allegations made by VeryDarkMan against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS), which indirectly relates to Bobrisky’s case since these allegations were part of the broader context surrounding their feud.
• EFCC itself has launched an investigation into its officers following claims that they received a bribe from Bobrisky to drop charges against him.
• Previously, VeryDarkMan faced legal issues himself, including arrests for cyberbullying and defamation, showcasing his controversial status within the Nigerian social media landscape.

This lawsuit reflects ongoing tensions between public figures and social media influencers in Nigeria, highlighting issues of defamation, privacy, and the legal implications of online content creation.
