EFCC Boss Orders Investigation into Bobrisky’s N15 Million Bribery Allegations

The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has taken decisive action in response to bribery allegations raised by popular Nigerian personality, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky. In a viral video shared by activist Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, Bobrisky accused certain unnamed EFCC officers of extorting ₦15 million from him to dismiss money laundering charges.

Bobrisky, who is an ex-convict, claimed that the officers accepted the money in exchange for dropping the case against him, a claim that has sparked widespread controversy across social media. In response, the EFCC has swiftly launched an investigation into the allegations. Mr. Olukoyede has assembled a team of investigators tasked with probing the matter thoroughly.

The EFCC has called on both Bobrisky and Martins Otse to present themselves at the Commission’s Lagos Directorate to aid in the investigation. The Commission has reassured the public that the investigation will be conducted with the utmost integrity, and the findings will be made public in due course.

Mr. Dele Oyewale, Head of Media and Publicity for the EFCC emphasized that the Commission remains steadfast in upholding its core values of integrity, professionalism, and transparency. He further stated that any officer found to have violated these values would face appropriate disciplinary measures.

This development highlights the EFCC’s commitment to fighting corruption within its ranks, ensuring that no individual or group is above the law. The Nigerian public, particularly those active on social media, will closely follow the progress of this investigation as the EFCC works to uphold its reputation as a credible anti-corruption body.
