In a dramatic revelation at a House of Representatives panel, known activist Martins Otse, better known by his online persona VeryDarkMan, has detailed how he obtained a controversial phone recording implicating popular cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky.
The announcement has sent shockwaves through social media and the public alike, as Nigeria grapples with claims of bribery and corruption among its elite.
Allegations Emerge During EFCC Investigation
On Monday, VeryDarkMan presented himself before a panel investigating allegations of bribery involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).
This inquiry was sparked by allegations made by a prominent activist, which highlighted troubling accusations surrounding the integrity of these institutions.
Bobrisky was also invited to the session but opted to send a legal representative in his place, prompting VeryDarkMan to initially withhold his testimony until the controversial figure arrived.
However, the lawmakers were not pleased with this stance. They subsequently moved to compel him to testify about the audio recording he had released, insisting that the matter could not be ignored.
The Truth Behind the Recording
Despite the committee’s insistence, VeryDarkMan maintained that he would not speak unless Bobrisky was present. Tensions rose when committee members threatened to utilise their legislative powers to arrest him if he refused to cooperate.
Ultimately, VeryDarkMan capitulated and addressed the allegations, shedding light on the authenticity of the recording which has since gone viral.
He disclosed that the recording was provided by an individual claiming to be owed money by Bobrisky.
The contents of the audio are serious, as VeryDarkMan alleges that Bobrisky had paid a staggering N15 million to the EFCC to quash money laundering charges against him stemming from a notorious incident involving naira spraying in April, which concluded with a six-month prison sentence.
VeryDarkMan continued to allege that Bobrisky also disbursed additional funds to secure preferential treatment while incarcerated, including a choice location within the prison.
These claims have prompted widespread discussion about corruption within both the EFCC and NCoS.
Public Outcry and Media Reactions
The allegations have ignited a firestorm of reactions online, with social media users sharing their thoughts and opinions.
Critics of Bobrisky are calling for thorough investigations, while supporters express skepticism about the veracity of VeryDarkMan’s claims.
As the ongoing investigation unfolds, questions remain about the broader implications for the Nigerian correctional system and the fight against corruption.
The House of Representatives panel is expected to continue its hearings, aiming to get to the bottom of these serious allegations and restore public confidence in these institutions.
In a nation navigating the complex terrain of accountability and governance, this unfolding drama is sure to capture the attention of many in the coming days.
As more details emerge, both Bobrisky and VeryDarkMan are positioned in the centre of a narrative that highlights the intersection of fame, power, and the quest for justice in Nigeria.
