A viral audio conversation suggests that Bobrisky paid ₦15 million to unnamed officers of the EFCC to have money laundering charges against him dropped.

Reps Summon EFCC Chairman, VDM, and Bobrisky Over Alleged ₦15m Bribery

The House of Representatives has acted on its resolution to investigate the bribery allegations against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) by summoning the commission’s Chairman, Ola Olukoyede.

In a letter dated September 27, 2024, the Joint Committees of the House requested that Olukoyede and the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS) appear on Monday the 30th, along with all officers involved in the allegations.

This action follows a trending social media voice recording involving crossdresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, who was sentenced to six months in prison for abusing the naira.

The audio clip suggests that Bobrisky paid ₦15 million to some unnamed officers of the EFCC to have the money laundering charges dropped and spent time in a VIP facility instead of prison.

The House Committee has also extended invitations to the crossdresser and social media influencer Martins Otse, known as Very Darkman (VDM), who released the voice recording on social media.

“To this end, the Commission hereby invites both Okuneye and Otse (VeryDarkMan) to make themselves available at its Lagos Directorate to assist investigators in uncovering the alleged bribery,” he said.
