A lady identified as Bankole Oniru, has accused Human Rights Lawyer, Femi Falana, of being a traitor during the #EndSARS Movement.
Reacting in a post on her X handle on Monday over the ongoing bribery scandal involving the Falana, Bobrisky, and social media influencer, VeryDarkMan, Oniru claimed Falana is not a saint as she narrated how the lawyer frustrated the effort of the #EndSARS movement at tribunal.
The self-acclaimed freedom fighter disclosed how Falana convinced the #EndSARS organizers to accept the funding offer issued by Lagos state government during the tribunal.
“Following the EndSARS unrest, and during the panel of inquiry, the Lagos state government’s initial funding offer was met with resistance.
“@sarahibrahim and associates then consulted Mr. Femi Falana regarding the substantial sum proposed for advisory purposes.
“Despite Mr. Falana’s counsel to accept the funds as a gift, I deemed it incongruous to accept financial compensation from those we were opposing, fearing it may undermine our integrity.
“The first funds Sarah called me to pick up was 1.5m. The second was 1m. I have proofs. Messages to back it up.
“The #endsars coordinators shared millions of money severally. Going back and forth to pick a Ghana must go filled with cash at Alausa Ikeja.
“On two separate occasions, I entrusted my personal assistant to collect money from Sarah, ensuring she took photographs for evidentiary purposes.
“Afterwards, I shared images of the funds received on EndSARS United and Competent Nigerians platforms for public dissemination as giveaways.
“Adeshina Ademola Ogunlana of blessed memories was the only lawyer that stand genuinely for the endsars. He can never be bought.
“Falana is a constant betrayal of our ideals. Remember he almost frustrated the tribunal.
“Mr Femi Falana is not a saint.
Te ba fa gburu, Gburu ma fa igbo.” She wrote.
