Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has said his son, Folarin Falana, aka Falz D Bad Guy, was born when he was moved through different prisons.
According to Nigerian Tribune, Falana made this known at the Memorial Lecture of the Late Activist, Mohammed Fawehinmi, on Thursday, in Lagos.
The senior lawyer noted that he was not surprised about his son’s active participation during the #EndSARS protests that rocked the country in October 2020.
“A government official told me to call my son to order during the #EndSARS protest. So, I told the person you must be stupid.
“This was a boy that was given birth to while I was being moved from one prison to the other for fighting for a just cause.
“He was born in 1990 and this incident took place in 1990. So, what do you expect from such a boy?
“This is similar to the case of the late activist, Mohammed Fawehinmi. He was a product of the circumstances of his birth.
“He was born in the absence of his dad; his dad was languishing in prison in 1969. So, such a person wouldn’t have become a defender of the status quo.”
