The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has launched an investigation into allegations of bribery against some of its officers, involving social media influencer Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, and Martins Vincent Otse, a.k.a. Very Dark Man.
In a viral video, Bobrisky, an ex-convict recently sentenced to six months in prison for mutilating Naira notes, claimed that some EFCC officers collected N15 million from him to drop money laundering charges. The video was powered by Very Dark Man.
In response to the allegations, EFCC Chairman, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has constituted a team of investigators to look into the case.
The commission has invited Bobrisky and Very Dark Man to its Lagos Directorate to assist in uncovering the truth.
“The EFCC wishes to assure the public that the allegations would be thoroughly investigated and the result of the findings made public accordingly,” the commission stated.
“The Commission is committed to its core values of integrity, courage, professionalism, and collaboration at all times.”
This development comes after Bobrisky’s recent run-in with the law. He received a six-month prison sentence in April 2024 for spraying and mutilating Naira notes at social events.
He pleaded guilty to the charges and was ordered to use his social media influence to educate his followers against abusing the Naira.
