The House of Representatives has invited the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ola Olukoyode to participate in the investigation concerning the N15 million bribery allegations.
The House Committee is also inviting Bobrisky and a social media influencer, Martins Otse, known as Very Dark Man, on social media who released the voice recording.
This is coming after the Joint House Committee decided to look into claims of bribery involving the EFCC.
In a letter dated 27th September 2024, the committee requested the EFCC Chairman and the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Correctional Service to show up on Monday, September 30, along with all officers linked to the accusation.
The accusation of bribery against the anti-graft agency and the Nigeria Correctional Service stemmed from a viral social media voice chat involving Idris Okuneye, a crossdresser sentenced earlier this year for naira misuse.
The trending voice chat claimed that Bobrisky paid N15 million to EFCC to dismiss money laundering charges and stayed in a VIP facility instead of prison.
This event subsequently led to the suspension of officials of the Nigeria Correctional Centre.

Those suspended according to a memo on Thursday which was signed by the secretary of the board, Ja’afaru Ahmed, are the Deputy Controller of Corrections In-Charge of Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kiri-kiri, Lagos State, Michael Anugwa and Deputy Controller of Corrections In-Charge of MSCC Kiri-Kiri Lagos State, Sikiru Adekunle.
It read: “Following the viral video trending on social media on alleged infractions by Officers of the Nigerian Correctional Service relating to Mr. Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has suspended forthwith the following Senior Officers of the Service:
“Michael Anugwa, DCC, In-Charge of MSCC, Kiri-kiri, Lagos State; and Sikiru Adekunle, DCC, In-Charge of MSCC, Kiri-kiri, Lagos State.”
The memo also noted that an officer serving at the MSCC in Afikpo, Ebonyi State, Ogbule Obinna was suspended for accompanying an inmate out of the facility.
