Nigerian social media personality and cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, known as Bobrisky, has filed a N1 billion lawsuit against internet activist VeryDarkMan. The dispute arose after VeryDarkMan shared a voice recording he claimed was Bobrisky admitting to bribing officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) with N15 million to dismiss money laundering charges against him.
Bobrisky has denied these allegations, stating that the recordings were artificially generated using AI technology. Sharing a letter from her lawyers on social media, Bobrisky demanded that VeryDarkMan issue a written and video apology within 24 hours, along with the N1 billion in damages.
Bobrisky and VeryDarkMan: Reps investigate bribery claims involving EFCC and NCS.
The House of Representatives has initiated an investigation into bribery allegations involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS).
These allegations, brought forward by VeryDarkMan, suggest that the EFCC dismissed money laundering charges against Idris Okuneye, known as Bobrisky, after allegedly receiving N15 million.
Rep. Patrick Umoh, who represents the Ikot Ekpene/Essien Udim/Obot Akara Federal Constituency in Akwa Ibom State, sponsored the motion during Thursday’s plenary, voicing his concern over the serious allegations.
He highlighted the detrimental impact on Nigeria’s reputation as a corrupt nation and underscored the need for immediate action.
Umoh addressed his colleagues, expressing alarm over the publication by VeryDarkMan that implicated both the EFCC and the NCS, stating, “The publication alleges that the EFCC dropped money laundering charges against Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, upon collecting N15,000,000.”
