The House of Representatives on Thursday adopted a motion to investigate the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on the allegation of receiving ₦15 million from crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky.
Naija News reported that a social media influencer, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, alleged that Bobrisky, when convicted by the court for abusing the naira, allegedly served his jail term in a private residency and not the correctional center.
Following a motion titled ‘Urgent Need to investigate the disturbing allegation of corruption against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Correctional Service‘ by Hon Patrick Umoh, the House resolved to set up a committee to probe the allegation against EFCC.
The motion by the Ikot Ekpene/Essien Udim/Obot Akara federal constituency member read in part:
“The House notes the disturbing and widely circulated publication emanating from Martins Vincent Otse (also known as VeryDarkMan) against critical Nigerian law enforcement institutions; the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Correctional Service;
“Also notes the publication alleges that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) dropped money laundry charges against Idris Okuneye (also known as Bobrisky) upon collection of the sum of Fifteen Million Naira (15, 000, 000):
“Further notes that the publication alleges that Idris Okuneye, upon conviction for abuse and defacing of the Naira, by the court did not serve his time at the Nigeria Correctional Service, but was lodged outside the confines of the Service.”
The motion further “Urge the House to set up an ad-hoc Committee comprising of persons of unquestionable integrity to immediately probe the allegation and report to the House within 3 legislative weeks.”
