Nigerian crossdresser and brand influencer, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has taken a bold step after he was invited again by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).
Bobrisky was recently accused of bribing some EFCC workers with N15 million to drop money laundering charges against him. This comes after Verydarkman released a leaked voice recording captured the crossdresser’s conversation with a friend.
In the leaked conversation, the crossdresser was heard speaking with a friend, saying, “You know I’m a very big influencer. I have over 5 million followers on Instagram and Facebook, and Facebook pays me every month. Despite that, they (EFCC) claimed I couldn’t afford the [N150m] house I live in. EFCC charged me with money laundering and took me to court. We pleaded with them, asking how much it would cost to drop the money laundering charges, and EFCC said N15 million.
“I couldn’t use my account because I’m still under investigation and can’t withdraw or transfer funds. So, I called a few friends. One of them was Elele, and I asked him which account I should use to send the money. I gave him my brother’s account, and he transferred N8 million. I also called Demola in the US, and he immediately sent N1 million. Other people I trust sent money in, and we gathered the full amount (N15m); we gave them the money, and they (the EFCC) dropped the money laundering charge and took me to court for Naira abuse.”
The recording sparked tensions among social media users, capturing the attention of many including that of the EFCC boss Ola Olukoyede. Via the organization’s official page, the boss revealed that EFCC will investigate the bribery allegations.
He, however, called on Bobrisky and Verydarkman to assist in the investigation.
Following the allegations and EFCC’s invite, the self-acclaimed ‘Mummy of Lagos’ denied paying EFCC money to drop laundering charges against him.
In the latest development, Bobrisky prayed to God to help him against evil one as he quoted some bible verses via his Instagram page.
He wrote, “2 Thessalonians 3:3 – But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one. Psalm 46:1 – God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Deuteronomy 31:6 – Be strong and courageous.”
