VeryDarkMan (VDM), an activist, has testified before the House of Representatives Joint Committee on Financial Crimes and Reformatory Institutions regarding bribery allegations against officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Haliru Nababa, Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).
The testimony follows a viral audio recording allegedly attributed to Bobrisky, the popular crossdresser, in which she claimed to have bribed EFCC officials with ₦15 million to drop a money laundering charge. VeryDarkMan revealed how he obtained the controversial recording.
Initially, VeryDarkMan refused to address the committee without Bobrisky present. However, his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, convinced him to proceed. He disclosed that he received the audio from an individual to whom Bobrisky allegedly owed ₦4 million.
“The person lent Bobrisky the money on June 19, 2024, while she was in EFCC detention or a private apartment,” VeryDarkMan testified. He alleged that the money was transferred to an account linked to Abiodun Okuneye, Bobrisky’s brother.
He presented evidence of chats and conversations showing Bobrisky’s refusal to repay the loan, further accusing her of blackmailing the lender. He read from messages exchanged between Bobrisky and the lender, where Bobrisky allegedly said, “Go ahead and call me out, I will respond to you on IG. You know I’m shameless and I don’t care.”
In addition to submitting part of the recording to the committee, VeryDarkMan provided further evidence of the crossdresser’s actions, indicating that more recordings could be presented.
The allegations against Bobrisky extend beyond bribery claims. She also purportedly stated that her “godfather” and the NCoS CG arranged for her to serve her six-month jail term for naira abuse in a private apartment following her sentencing in April.
Last Thursday, the House of Representatives resolved to probe the allegations against the EFCC and NCoS. The investigation continues.
