The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has ordered an immediate investigation into bribery allegations levelled against some officers of the Commission by a Nigerian cross dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky.
The directive followed a viral video in which Bobrisky, an ex-convict, alleged that certain EFCC officers collected the sum of N15 million from him to drop money laundering charges.
The video, which was amplified by social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, has since gained wide traction across the country.
Reacting swiftly, the EFCC chairman constituted a team of investigators to critically examine the claims.
As part of the investigation, the Commission has invited both Bobrisky and Otse to report to its Lagos office to assist in uncovering the truth behind the allegations.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, the anti-graft agency assured Nigerians that the allegations would be thoroughly investigated, with the findings made public in due course.
“The Commission remains committed to its core values of integrity, courage, professionalism, and collaboration,” the statement read.
