EFCC drops money laundering charges against Bobrisky

The charges were initially filed based on Okuneye’s unregistered firm, Bob Express, but the Special Control Unit disclosed it wasn’t a Designated Non-Financial Institution.

EFCC’s Head of Media, Dele Oyewale, reported Bala’s statement to the House of Representatives Joint Committee probing EFCC and Nigeria Correctional Service corruption allegations.

Bobrisky had alleged offering a ₦15m bribe to EFCC officials.

Bala emphasized that the charges were dropped after verifying Bob Express’s status with SCUML, and the EFCC relied on four counts of Naira mutilation to which Okuneye pleaded guilty.

She denied claims of financial inducement, citing the Administration of Criminal Justice Act’s allowance for charge amendments as standard practice.
