EFCC Set to Fish out Officials who Allegedly Collected N15m Bribe To Struck Out Money Laundering Charges Against Bobrisky

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has ordered an investigation into allegations that some officers of the anti-graft agency took a N15 million bribe from controversial cross dresser Idris Okuneye (Bobrisky).

A statement by Dele Oyewale, Head, Media Publicity late Tuesday night, noted that the EFCC’s chairman,

Ola Olukoyede has constituted a team of investigators to critically look into the allegations.

Social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse (a.k.a VeryDarkMan) had earlier released call recordings of Bobrisky allegedly admitting to paying EFCC 15 million to clear his money laundering case.

In the audio, Bobrisky also disclosed how his godfather who he did not mentioned called the Controller General of Corrections in order for him not sleep inside prison.

He alleged that he was taken into a personal apartment instead of prison to serve his sentence.

But before the charge was read to the defendant on April 05, EFCC’s prosecution counsel Suleiman Suleiman, prayed the court to strick out counts five and six (Money laundering charges).

“In a swift reaction, the EFCC’s boss has constituted a team of Investigators to critically look into the allegations. To this end, the Commission hereby invites both Okuneye and Otse to make themselves available at its Lagos Directorate to assist investigators unearth the alleged bribery.

“The EFCC wishes to assure the public that the allegations would be thoroughly investigated and the result of the findings made public accordingly.

“The Commission is committed to its core values of integrity, courage, professionalism and collaboration at all times,” the statement added.
