Bribery Allegations Prompt House Of Reps To Call EFCC Chairman, VeryDarkMan, And Bobrisky For Hearing

This action was detailed in a letter from Jon Ginger Onwusibe, the Lead Chairman of the joint committee, addressing the parties involved regarding serious allegations of corruption against the EFCC and the Nigerian Correctional Services.

Others invited include ACG Ben Rabbi Freedman, the former Controller of Corrections for Lagos Command, Ja’afaru Ahmed, Secretary of the Board, and DCCs Sikiru Adekunle and Michael Anugwa, who are in charge of Maximum and Medium Security, respectively.

**Background:**
In April, the EFCC arrested Bobrisky on multiple counts of money laundering and currency mutilation. During his trial at the Federal High Court in Lagos, Justice Abimbola Awogboro dismissed the money laundering charges but sentenced Bobrisky to six months in prison for currency abuse.

However, shortly after his release, Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, shared a leaked audio recording on Instagram in which Bobrisky discussed alleged extortion by EFCC officials, claiming they demanded N15 million to drop the money laundering charges. VeryDarkMan stated he released the audio after Bobrisky failed to repay N4 million borrowed from an associate to secure the extortion payment.

On Tuesday night, EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede announced an immediate investigation into the bribery allegations. He also requested that Bobrisky and VeryDarkMan report to the EFCC’s Lagos office to assist in the inquiry.
