EFCC Summons Bobrisky, VeryDarkMan Over Bribery Allegations Against Officers

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has initiated an investigation into bribery allegations made by controversial cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, against some EFCC officers.

Bobrisky, a former convict, claimed in a video shared by blogger Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, that unnamed EFCC officers had extorted ₦15 million from him in exchange for dropping money laundering charges.

In a statement released on Tuesday, EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale confirmed that the commission’s chairman has set up a team of investigators to probe the allegations.

“As a result, both Okuneye and Otse (VeryDarkMan) are invited to report to the EFCC’s Lagos Directorate to assist in the investigation,” Oyewale stated.

The EFCC assured the public of a thorough investigation, with the findings to be made public in due course.

In April, Bobrisky was sentenced to six months in prison without the option of a fine for violating laws on the abuse of Nigeria’s currency, the naira.
