EFCC Invites Bobrisky, VeryDarkMan Over Bribery Allegations Against Officers
The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has ordered an immediate investigation of bribery allegations levelled against some officers of the commission by controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye also known as Bobrisky.
Okuneye, an ex-convict, had alleged in a video powered by a blogger, Martins Otse known as VeryDarkMan, that some unnamed officers of the EFCC collected the sum of ₦15m from him to drop money laundering charges against him.
In a statement on Tuesday, EFCC spokesman Dele Oyewale said the EFCC boss has constituted a team of investigators to look into the allegations.
“To this end, the Commission hereby invites both Okuneye and Otse (VeryDarkMan) to make themselves available at its Lagos Directorate to assist investigators unearth the alleged bribery,” he said.
The EFCC assured the public that the allegations would be thoroughly investigated and the result of the findings made public accordingly.
In April, Bobrisky was sentenced to six months imprisonment without an option of fine for abusing the Nigerian currency – naira.
