“EFCC Explains Money Laundering Charge Against Bobrisky”

Published

on

Bilikisu Buhari, a representative of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), testified before the House of Representatives committee investigating allegations against Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky.

During the session, Buhari responded to claims made by social media personality Verydarkman, who presented an audio recording purportedly featuring Bobrisky’s voice. Verydarkman accused the crossdresser of paying N15 million to the EFCC to have a money laundering charge dropped.

In response, Buhari clarified that the money laundering charges against Bobrisky were withdrawn following his court confessional statement regarding naira abuse. She emphasized that the EFCC acted within its legal framework, amending the charges based on the findings of its investigation.

Buhari firmly denied any allegations of financial inducement, stating that no bribes were accepted by any EFCC officials involved in the case. She reiterated that all decisions made by the EFCC were in accordance with the agency’s core principles and its commitment to maintaining integrity.

She also refuted Bobrisky’s claims of a Post-No-Debit restriction on his bank accounts, calling them false.

The committee chairman, Ginger Onwusibe, noted that in the next session, the individual responsible for the audio recording should be present to provide additional context. Despite being invited to present evidence or identify EFCC officers who allegedly solicited a bribe, Bobrisky did not attend the hearing.

The committee has now adjourned the session indefinitely as it continues to probe the matter further.

Published

on

Sowore claimed that the arrest was an attempt to stifle VeryDarkMan’s allegations of corruption against the EFCC and its leaders.
He also mentioned that the EFCC is looking to charge the activist in court soon, possibly the next day, to justify their actions.

“Moyele Sowore, former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), has accused the EFCC of arresting social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, to silence him.”

“In a post on X, Sowore claimed the arrest was an attempt to silence VeryDarkMan’s corruption allegations against the EFCC and its leaders.

He stated, “It has been established that the @officialEFCC unlawfully arrested and detained Martins Vincent Otse aka VDM to silence him for accusing the agency and its leaders of corruption and malfeasance,” describing the action as a clear abuse of power.

Sowore called it a misuse of power and added that the EFCC plans to charge the activist in court soon, possibly the next day, to justify their actions.

“The @officialEFCC is currently exploring legal avenues to charge him in court, possibly tomorrow, in an attempt to legitimize their actions,” he added.

Additionally, Sowore pointed out that the EFCC lacks the legal authority to prosecute criminal defamation, libel, or cybercrime, as these are civil matters.

“Nevertheless, it is essential to state unequivocally that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (@officialEFCC) does not possess the authority to prosecute individuals for criminal defamation, criminal libel, or cybercrime, as these are torts typically addressed through civil lawsuits.”

“As a result, the EFCC must release VDM immediately,” he stated.

In an honest conversation with Chude Jideonwo, he shared that he never anticipated that leading prayers would bring him such widespread recognition.

“NSPPD wasn’t even the original name,” he revealed. “We simply prayed and, over time, realized we needed to give it a name.

Despite his dynamic online presence, Pastor Eze described himself as calm and reserved off-camera. “People are always surprised when they meet me. I don’t talk much in real life,” he shared.

“Anyone who knows me personally knows that the person shouting every morning isn’t really me,” he explained. “I’m very calm. Outside of NSPPD, I rarely speak. I’m quiet and deliberate with my words. So, sometimes, people find it hard to reconcile the person they see online with who I am in real life.

He also admitted that he finds it difficult to watch his own broadcasts because of their intensity. However, his motivation remains unwavering: “I just want to see people smile and be free.
