Social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has reignited the controversy surrounding Nigerian cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, with a newly released audio recording.
In this latest development, VDM insists that Bobrisky never spent time in jail, despite earlier claims, and accuses the cross-dresser of bribing officials from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to drop money laundering charges against him. The recording, which surfaced on Monday, offers a deeper glimpse into the accusations surrounding Bobrisky’s legal troubles and dealings with Nigerian authorities.
VDM’s Explosive Audio Revelation
The audio recording, which VDM claims was made on May 16, features Bobrisky recounting his encounter with the EFCC during their investigation into his financial activities. Bobrisky reveals in the recording that his bank accounts were frozen as part of the EFCC’s probe into alleged suspicious transactions.
However, according to Bobrisky, the case was resolved after he reportedly negotiated with officials from the anti-graft agency to drop the money laundering charges against him. This revelation has once again thrust the controversial figure into the spotlight, with VDM accusing Bobrisky of using bribery to avoid legal repercussions.
VDM, who has made a name for himself as a social media watchdog, continues to call out Bobrisky, insisting that the cross-dresser never faced the full force of the law. According to VDM, the audio recording not only proves Bobrisky’s guilt but also sheds light on a larger issue of corruption within Nigeria’s justice system, as he claims EFCC officials were bribed to make the charges disappear.
VDM vs Bobrisky
This is not the first time VDM has taken aim at Bobrisky. The feud between the two dates back to an earlier incident involving an unpaid debt. VDM first called out Bobrisky over an alleged N4 million debt owed to an unnamed creditor.
In a video that trended across various social media platforms, VDM recounted how the creditor approached him, begging him to put pressure on Bobrisky to settle the outstanding debt. This revelation sparked a public back-and-forth between the two, with VDM accusing Bobrisky of evading payment.
VDM’s accusations escalated when he alleged that Bobrisky not only dodged his financial obligations but also paid bribes to officials of the EFCC and Nigeria Correctional Services (NCoS) to avoid prosecution and detention. According to VDM, the cross-dresser used his financial clout to manipulate the legal system and escape accountability.
The scandal took an even more sensational turn when VDM implicated prominent Nigerian human rights lawyer Femi Falana (SAN) and his son, rapper Folarin ‘Falz’ Falana, in the saga. VDM claimed that the Falanas had attempted to secure a presidential pardon for Bobrisky in exchange for a N10 million bribe. These explosive allegations cast a shadow on both the legal profession and Nigeria’s justice system, fueling widespread debate on social media about the extent of corruption in the country.
Falana, in response, has denied any involvement in securing a pardon for Bobrisky and has taken legal steps to address VDM’s allegations. The human rights lawyer has also revealed that he and his family have faced threats of violence, with individuals vowing to harm his daughter if he proceeds with legal action against VDM.
The ongoing saga between VDM and Bobrisky has captured the attention of the Nigerian public, with both sides attracting their fair share of supporters. Some social media users have rallied behind VDM, commending his bravery in exposing what they believe to be systemic corruption. Others, however, have criticized VDM for his relentless pursuit of Bobrisky, accusing him of harassment and defamation.
As the drama continues to unfold, the House of Representatives Joint Committee on Financial Crimes and Reformatory Institutions has taken notice. The committee has reportedly invited both VDM and Bobrisky to a hearing to address the allegations of bribery and corruption involving the EFCC and NCoS. The hearing is expected to be a pivotal moment in the ongoing dispute, potentially leading to legal repercussions for those involved.
With the stakes higher than ever, all eyes are now on Bobrisky and VDM as they prepare for the House of Representatives hearing. The outcome of the hearing could have serious implications not only for Bobrisky’s public image but also for Nigeria’s anti-corruption efforts. If VDM’s allegations are proven true, it could serve as a damning indictment of the country’s justice system, where wealth and influence can allegedly buy one’s way out of legal trouble.
The feud between VeryDarkMan and Bobrisky shows no signs of slowing down. With allegations of bribery, corruption, and defamation in play, the stakes are high for both parties. As the House of Representatives Joint Committee hearing looms, the public will be closely watching to see if VDM’s claims are substantiated or if Bobrisky will emerge unscathed from the controversy.
