Bobrisky faces EFCC Questioning Over Alleged N15 Million Bribery Claim.

 

In the realm of issues and debates stands the famed Nigerian social media personality Idris Okuneye. Commonly referred to as Bobrisky. Who often finds himself at the forefront of discussions again. This instance presents a challenge, for him compared to usual online exchanges. Allegations of a N15 million bribe to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have placed Bobrisky in hot water and he’s now the subject of an intense investigation. The claim that he paid off officials to “erase” a money laundering case is rattling cages far beyond social media.


The scandal first came to light through a viral audio clip shared by activist Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan. In the recording, Bobrisky is heard alleging that unnamed EFCC officials accepted N15 million from him to sweep his money laundering charges under the rug. This claim triggered a swift reaction, with EFCC pulling Bobrisky in for interrogation, now conducted in their Abuja office. According to insiders, he’s been questioned exhaustively, with authorities trying to piece together what’s truth, what’s exaggeration, and what—if anything implicates their own officials.


This case isn’t just about one high-profile figure’s claim; it’s tapping into a much larger issue. Many Nigerians are now looking at the EFCC and wondering if corruption has infiltrated even those tasked with eradicating it. Bobrisky’s allegation has opened a Pandora’s box of questions, raising doubts about the very institution that’s supposed to hold financial criminals accountable. If his claim is true, who within the EFCC stands accused of taking a bribe? And if it’s false, what drove Bobrisky to such an assertion? It’s a story that’s forcing both celebrities and citizens to confront an uncomfortable question: who can you trust when even watchdogs are under suspicion?


As this investigation continues, Nigeria watches closely. Social media is buzzing, with people divided on whether Bobrisky is a victim, a whistleblower, or someone trying to escape justice by shifting the narrative. The EFCC, on the other hand, is under pressure to either clear its name or address internal misconduct, if any. This scandal will undoubtedly shape public perception, not only of Bobrisky but also of the credibility of Nigeria’s anti-corruption efforts.
