EFCC Investigates Bribery Allegations Involving Bobrisky and VeryDarkMan
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has initiated an investigation into bribery allegations involving its own officers. The EFCC has invited Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, and social media influencer Martins Otse, also called VeryDarkMan, for questioning over these allegations.
In a viral video shared by VeryDarkMan, Bobrisky accused certain unnamed EFCC officials of accepting a N15 million bribe to dismiss money laundering charges against him. Bobrisky was initially charged with six counts related to naira abuse and money laundering, with the funds allegedly totaling N127,780,877.98 deposited into his company’s Eco Bank account between September 2021 and April 2024. While some charges were later dropped after an agreement between Bobrisky and the EFCC, this new bribery claim has sparked further investigation.
