Bobrisky, the social media celebrity, says she is prepared to be investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over the bribery allegations against her.
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.
Her ordeal started on Tuesday after VeryDarkMan, born Martins Otse, shared a purported audio recording online wherein she claimed she bribed some EFCC officials with N15,000,000 to drop the charges against her.
The self-proclaimed transgender later described the viral recording as “fake”. She argued that she did not pay any amount to the anti-graft agency.
The social media celebrity also insisted that “I served my term in prison”.
Bobrisky’s denial came after the anti-graft agency invited her and VeryDarkMan over bribery allegations against its officials.
Ola Olukoyede, the EFCC chairman, also ordered an immediate investigation into the allegations.
Similarly, Falz, the rapper, appeared to have confirmed some of VeryDarkMan’s claims in a warning letter to the activist.
In the letter demanding the activist to retract his allegation, Falz claimed the crossdresser called him to seek financial assistance of “N3 million to pay some officials to get a VIP prison section” — which he declined.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, Bobrisky revealed that she had received numerous threats regarding the recording.
The crossdresser insisted that the audio recording was “fake” and “manipulated”. She also expressed concerns about potential detention by the anti-graft agency.
Bobrisky emphasized her innocence while asserting her willingness to face legal action.
The social media celebrity said she is “ready for any investigation, but it must not be conducted in the same EFCC office where I was previously detained”.
“Please everyone calling to tell me the danger I am in and the plans against me should hold it now and fu*k it,” she wrote.
“I don’t want any threat no more. I was being scared because of the story that EFCC will detain me again and I will be sentenced to prison second time. God will vindicate me and for those that want to frame me up, they will be exposed by the law.
“I am ready for any investigation but not in the same EFCC office where I was detained and any investigation should be free, no intimidation and I demand for an independent and open investigation for the world to see.
“You cannot bury me because of my social media lifestyle. Anybody can alter any audio, add or frame any audio and put it out. Anyone who published any audio should take responsibility for the audio.
“The fact remains that I am not the maker of that audio and didn’t publish any audio, and nothing can change that. I will meet you guys in any court this time around if you have any case against me.”
Bobrisky earlier disclosed she was contemplating suicide. The crossdresser also deleted all pictures and videos on his Instagram account.
The federal government also suspended two officials of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) over bribery allegations involving the transgender.
