Human
rights activist and renowned lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) has dared the
Muslims Rights Concern,, to sue his rapper son, Folarin Falana
popularly known as Falz, if they are aggrieved by his trending ‘This is
Nigeria’ video.
Recall that the group during the week released a statement, ordering Falz to
take down “This is Nigeria” video which, according to them, ridicules their
religion because some girls were seen in the footage wearing hijab and dancing
Shaku Shaku.They also threatened to take a legal action against the rapper after the expiration of the ultimatum given to him.
But reacting to the threat, the renowned lawyer told Vanguard that in as much as freedom of speech is constitutionally guaranteed in the country; nobody has the right to threaten another person.
According to him, the video in question contains a lot of messages and desired to be encouraged by anybody who has the interest of this country at heart.
Speaking further, Falana said he has confirmed that his son, who’s also a lawyer by profession is handling the threat within the ambit of the law.
“My son is a lawyer and I have confirmed that he’s handling the threat within the ambit of the law. The video in question contains a lot of messages and it should be encouraged by anybody who has the interest of our country at heart.
“Since the group has threatened to sue him or threatening to sue him. My son has promised that he would meet them in court. I support that decision.
“We all belong to this country, nobody can threaten another person. Freedom of speech is constitutionally guaranteed.
“If you are aggrieved as a result of any publication or
record, the appropriate thing for you to do is to go to court. I’d hope that
they will go to court at the expiration of the ultimatum given to my son,” said
the renowned lawyer.
