Bribery saga: Bobrisky absent as VDM, Adeyanju, others storm NASS

The investigation into the alleged N15 million bribery involving controversial cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, known as Bobrisky, has commenced in the House.

The hearing, held by the House Committees on Financial Crimes and Reformatory Institutions, began around 2:05 p.m. following the arrival of Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, and his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju.

It will be recalled that the scandal started after VeryDarkMan released a voice recording allegedly of Bobrisky, claiming EFCC officials demanded N15 million to drop the money laundering charge against him.

In the recording, Bobrisky also claimed that he never spent a day in prison after his conviction, stating that his godfather arranged for him to serve his term in a lodge instead of a jail, a comment that implicated the Nigerian Correctional Services.

However, at the time of filing this report, Bobrisky did not attend the hearing; instead, his lawyer appeared on his behalf.
