Lady accuses Femi Falana and others of encouraging #EndSars coordinators to accept funds from the government

X (formerly Twitter) user Princess Banke Oniru has made serious accusations against Femi Falana and Serah Ibrahim, alleging that they encouraged the #EndSARS coordinators to accept funds from the Lagos State government.

She stated in a post on her X account:

"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 were 1.5 million. The second was 1 million. I have proof, messages to back it up. The #EndSARS coordinators shared millions of naira 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 memory, was the only lawyer who genuinely stood for 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.
