Popular comedian and former BBNaija housemate, Aderombi Adedayo Martin, better known as Deeone, has hit back at lawyer Deji Adeyanju for calling out human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), over his silence regarding the arrest of VeryDarkMan (VDM).
VDM was reportedly arrested on May 2, 2025, in Abuja after visiting a branch of Guaranty Trust Bank. Adeyanju, who is also VDM’s lawyer, took to X (formerly Twitter) on May 5, 2025, to express his frustration with Falana for not speaking out about VDM’s arrest.
In response, Deeone posted a video on Instagram questioning why Falana is being called upon to defend VDM now. He pointed out that no one reached out to the renowned lawyer when VDM was previously involved in online defamation.
Deeone said, “Deji, what do you want Mr. Falana SAN to do now? You’re suddenly calling him your mentor and leader. But when VDM was online defaming people, misleading the public, nobody mentioned Falana then.”
The comedian emphasized that VDM had crossed legal boundaries and must now face the legal process like any other citizen. He noted that the EFCC chairman, who is a lawyer himself, wouldn’t take action without just cause.
Deeone added, “The EFCC chairman is a lawyer. He knows what he’s doing. Your client has messed up. Go to court and face it like a man.”
He also pointed out that some individuals, including those close to VDM, are taking advantage of the situation for personal gain. He said, “Even his brother is gaining from all this. Everybody’s trying to benefit from the drama.”
