The summons comes in response to a viral video shared by Otse, in which Bobrisky accused certain EFCC officers of demanding and accepting a N15 million bribe to dismiss money laundering charges against him. Bobrisky, who recently completed a six-month sentence for abusing the Nigerian currency, claimed that the unnamed EFCC officials had agreed to drop the charges in exchange for the bribe.

In the video, Otse also alleged the involvement of musician Falz and his father, renowned lawyer Femi Falana, in the matter.
In the audio, Bobrisky can be heard discussing with a friend how the EFCC collected N15 million from him to drop the money laundering charges.
VeryDarkMan released the audio after Bobrisky refused to repay N4 million to one of the people he approached for the N15 million he reportedly paid EFCC.
In the leaked conversation, the crossdresser was heard speaking with a friend, saying: “You know I’m a very big influencer. I have over 5 million followers on Instagram and Facebook, and Facebook pays me every month. Despite that, they (EFCC) claimed I couldn’t afford the [N150m] house I live in. EFCC charged me with money laundering and took me to court. We pleaded with them, asking how much it would cost to drop the money laundering charges, and EFCC said N15 million.
“I couldn’t use my account because I’m still under investigation and can’t withdraw or transfer funds. So, I called a few friends. One of them was Elele, and I asked him which account I should use to send the money. I gave him my brother’s account, and he transferred N8 million. I also called Demola in the US, and he immediately sent N1 million. Other people I trust sent money in, and we gathered the full amount (N15m); we gave them the money, and they (the EFCC) dropped the money laundering charge and took me to court for Naira abuse.”
In the leaked audio, Bobrisky claimed that he was framed after receiving his infamous ‘Best Dressed Female’ award at the premiere of actress Eniola Ajao’s movie, ‘Beast of Two Worlds’.
He admitted to pleading guilty in court, believing he would receive a fine or perform community service. However, he said he was sentenced due to his guilty plea.
Additionally, the crossdresser revealed that after his sentencing, his godfather, in conjunction with the Controller General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, arranged for him to serve his six-month sentence in a private apartment.
Bobrisky narrated further, “The whole issue started when they gave me the Best Dressed Female award. There’s jealousy involved, and when I got to court, I admitted guilt, hoping for either a fine or community service. However, the court sentenced me. On my way to prison, my Godfather called and assured me I wouldn’t enter prison. He told me not to worry and said he would arrange an apartment near the prison and speak to the Comptroller General of Prisons in Abuja.
“After they spoke, I was taken back and brought to an apartment where I was told not to come out until I finished my sentence. They informed the guy at the apartment that their boss instructed them to keep me there and not to let me leave. The guy said he’d collect N10 million, so I had to call Elele again. Elele gave me N2 million because there was no one else to call.”
Bobrisky’s leaked audio indicted singer Falz and his father, human rights activist Femi Falana.
He alleged that they approached him to assist with his application for a presidential pardon.
The crossdresser narrated: “I was supposed to be released at the end of July, but Falz reached out to me, and his father spoke to me. He said we could apply for a pardon, as my case is federal. He explained that the president could grant me a pardon, allowing me to leave prison without completing my sentence.
“The man (Femi Falana) initiated the pardon process and said he would send it to the Minister of Justice in Abuja, who would then forward it to the president. But, with Nigeria’s corruption and everything, the lawyer (Femi Falana) said he would need N10 million to ensure the pardon clears my name from the record. However, I have no one to call for the money because I don’t know which of my friends set me up.”
Reacting to the allegation on Tuesday night, EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede promptly ordered an investigation into the allegations, assembling a team of investigators to thoroughly probe the matter. The anti-graft agency has requested both Bobrisky and Otse to appear before its Lagos office to provide further details that could help uncover the truth behind the bribery claims.
In a statement released by the EFCC, the agency said, “Okuneye, an ex-convict had alleged in the video powered by Martins Vincent Otse (a.k.a VeryDarkMan) that some unnamed officers of the EFCC collected the sum of N15,000,000 (Fifteen Million Naira) only from him to drop money laundering charges against him.”
The statement continued, “In a swift reaction, the EFCC’s boss has constituted a team of Investigators to critically look into the allegations. To this end, the Commission hereby invites both Okuneye and Otse to make themselves available at its Lagos Directorate to assist investigators unearth the alleged bribery.”
The EFCC assured the public that the allegations would be thoroughly investigated, and the findings would be made public accordingly.
The summons of Bobrisky and VeryDarkMan has sparked widespread interest, with many Nigerians eagerly awaiting the outcome of the investigation. The allegations have raised concerns about the integrity of the EFCC and its officers, and the public is keen to see how the anti-graft agency will handle the matter.
As the investigation unfolds, the EFCC’s commitment to transparency and accountability will be put to the test. The agency’s ability to swiftly and effectively address the allegations will be crucial in maintaining public trust and confidence in its fight against corruption.
