‘It’s fake recording’ — Bobrisky denies claim she bribed EFCC officials with N15m

Bobrisky, the social media celebrity, has denied a claim of bribing officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

VeryDarkMan, born Martins Otse, shared a video online on Tuesday wherein Bobrisky claimed she bribed some EFCC officials with N15,000,000 to drop the money laundering charges against her.

The commission then invited VeryDarkMan and Bobrisky over bribery allegations against its officials.

Ola Olukoyede, the EFCC chairman, also ordered an immediate investigation into the allegations.

“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 EFFC’s statement reads in part.

“The EFCC wishes to assure the public that the allegations would be thoroughly investigated and the result of the findings made public accordingly.”

But on Wednesday, the crossdresser described the viral recording as “fake,” arguing that she did not pay any amount to the anti-graft agency.

The social media celebrity also insisted that she served her term in prison.

“My attention has been drawn to a fake voice recording circulating on the internet that I paid EFCC 15 million naira and that I was never in prison,” she wrote on Instagram.

“I didn’t pay any EFCC money; it is a very big lie. I served my term in full and I came out. Discard any false information.”

The crossdresser, whose birth name is Idris Okuneye, was released from prison on August 5 after she was sentenced to six months on April 12 for abusing the naira.
