Social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse aka VeryDarkMan is set to appear before the Nigerian House of Representatives on Monday in connection with bribery allegations made against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The controversy stems from an audio recording released by VeryDarkMan, in which crossdresser Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky, allegedly claimed to have bribed EFCC officials with N15 million to drop a money laundering case against him.
In the purported audio, Bobrisky also claimed he avoided serving a six-month jail sentence at Kirikiri Prison in Lagos, thanks to arrangements made by his godfather, who allegedly secured him accommodation in a lodge instead of prison.
In response to these serious allegations, the House of Representatives has summoned VeryDarkMan, Bobrisky, and EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, as part of a broader investigation into the matter.
VeryDarkMan’s legal representative, Deji Adeyanju, confirmed that his client will appear before the National Assembly Investigative Panel to assist it in unravelling the Bobrisky scandal involving the EFCC and NCoS officials.
Adeyanju tweeted: “We will be at the National Assembly tomorrow with our client @thatverydarkman to assist in investigations into allegations by Bobrisky that he/she paid N15m to have money laundering charges dropped by EFCC and also bribed prison officials to stay in an apartment.
