Controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, has refuted claims that unidentified officers of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) solicited a bribe of N15,000,000 (fifteen million naira) from him in exchange for dropping money laundering charges.
This follows an investigation into the matter by two Federal Government agencies, the Ministry of the Interior and the EFCC and invitations from the latter agency, to Bob Risky and another popular influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, to explain what they know about the matter.
On Tuesday night, popular influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, released the audio which was widely circulated across the country.
However, in an Instagram post on Wednesday, Bobrisky described the audio as fake.
He wrote: “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.
“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.
Bobrisky was released from the Kirikiri Correctional Centre on August 5 after six months behind bars.
A Federal High Court in Lagos had jailed him in April with no option of fine following his guilty plea to naira abuse charge preferred against him by the EFCC.
Earlier on Wednesday, EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede ordered an immediate investigation into the allegations made against certain officers of the Commission.
The Commission formally invited both Okuneye and Otse to present themselves at the EFCC’s Lagos Directorate to assist in the investigation.
