- Bobrisky has refuted claims that he bribed some EFCC officials with the sum of N15m to have his money laundering case dismissed.
- An audio had gone viral with claims that the crossdresser was opening up to someone else about not truly going to prison and bribery.
Popular crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has denied a bribery allegation levelled against him by a social media influencer, Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan.
In a viral audio released by VeryDarkMan, Bobrisky alleged that some unnamed Economic and Financial Crimes Commission operatives collected N15 million from him to drop money laundering charges against him.
Bobrisky was initially arraigned on six charges bordering on naira abuse and money laundering to the tune of N127,780,877.98.
The money was said to have been paid into his company’s account number 2830002929, domiciled in Eco Bank Plc, between September 2021 and April 2024.
However, the offence was dropped following a prayer by the counsel for the EFCC, Suleiman Suleiman.
He had told the court that the commission had entered into an agreement with Bobrisky.
Reacting to the viral audio in a statement on Tuesday, the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, said the Commission’s Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, had ordered an immediate investigation into the matter.
However, in an Instagram post on Wednesday morning, September 25, Bobirsky denied bribing any EFCC officer to drop money laundering charges against him, saying that he served his jail term.
The controversial social media sensation also described the viral voice recording as fake, stressing that the claim that he was never in prison was false and should be ignored.
Bobrisky wrote:
“My attention has been drawn to a fake voice recording circulating on the internet that I paid EFCC 15 million naira, and that I was never in prison… I didn’t pay any EFCC money, is a very big lie. I served my term in full, and I came out. Discard any false information.”
