Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ola Olukoyede has ordered immediate investigation of alleged bribery allegations imputed to some officers of the Commission by Nigerian controversial cross dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky in a viral video circulating across the country.
Okuneye, an ex-convict had alleged in the video shared by Martins Vincent Otse a.k.a VeryDarkMan on his instagram page that some unnamed officers of the EFCC collected the sum of N15,000,000 from him to drop money laundering charges against him.
VeryDarkMan also alleged that Bobrisky never went to the prison as widely reported but was rather kept in an apartment.
The Controller General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Haliru Nababa na di was also fingered in the circulated audio confession as Bobrisky has claimed that Nababa received a call from the cross dresser’s ‘godfather’ who ordered that he should be kept in the apartment instead of Kirikiri.
