Notably absent from the hearing was Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky, who is at the center of the bribery controversy. However, Bobrisky’s lawyer, Avwerosuoghene Omuvwie, was in attendance.
This inquiry follows an audio clip shared by VeryDarkMan, where Bobrisky allegedly claimed to have paid a ₦15 million bribe to EFCC officials to have money laundering charges against her dropped. On Thursday, the House of Representatives resolved to investigate these serious accusations against the anti-graft agency and the NCoS.
