EFCC invites Bobrisky, VeryDarkMan, over N15m bribery allegations
By Tosin Brown
The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has ordered an immediate investigation into alleged bribery claims made against some officers of the Commission by Idris Okuneye (a.k.a. Bobrisky) in a viral video circulating across the country.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by Dele Oyewale, EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity.
Okuneye, who is an ex-convict, alleged in the video—promoted by Martins Vincent Otse (a.k.a. VeryDarkMan)—that certain unnamed officers of the EFCC collected the sum of ₦15,000,000 (Fifteen Million Naira) from him to drop money laundering charges against him.
The statement further revealed that Olukoyede, in a swift response, has constituted a team of investigators to critically examine the allegations.
As a result, the anti-graft agency has invited both Bobrisky and VeryDarkMan to appear at its Lagos Directorate to assist investigators in uncovering the truth behind the alleged bribery.
“The EFCC assures the public that the allegations will be thoroughly investigated, and the results of the findings will be made public accordingly.
“The Commission remains committed to its core values of integrity, courage, professionalism, and collaboration at all times,” the statement read in part.
