₦15 Million Bribe Claim: EFCC Gives Fresh Update On Bobrisky

Controversial Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, was on Friday grilled by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), over claims of bribing some officials of the commission with the sum of ₦15 million.

Naija News recalls that Bobrisky was heard in a viral audio released by social media critic, Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, claiming that some yet-to-be-identified EFCC officials collected ₦15 million from him to drop the money laundering charges against him.

A source in the anti-graft commission who spoke with Punch on Friday night said Bobrisky’s interrogation began immediately after he was moved to Abuja.

The source said, “He was interrogated for hours upon his arrival here. He is still with us as I speak (8:30pm).”

Why We Arrested Bobrisky

Meanwhile, the EFCC has shed light on the recent arrest of popular crossdresser Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky.

Naija News reports that Bobrisky was apprehended on Thursday night at Lagos’ Murtala Muhammed International Airport.

He was allegedly trying to leave Nigeria for London amid ongoing bribery accusations.

Following his detention in Lagos, Bobrisky was subsequently moved to Abuja for further questioning.

EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, speaking with SaharaReporters on Friday, confirmed that Bobrisky was arrested after he failed to respond to a formal invitation from the Commission.

According to Oyewale, Bobrisky’s arrest is tied to an alleged bribery case, and the EFCC sought his cooperation to identify officials he claimed to have bribed.

When asked if Bobrisky would face bribery charges, Oyewale indicated that no official decision had been made on that matter yet.
