The Economic and Financial crimes commission, and the Nigerian Correctional Service, have been implicated in a bribery scandal that has set social media abuzz.
On Tuesday a social media influencer who goes by the name Very Dark Man, posted a video which revealed an audio recording, allegedly made by popular cross dresser, Bobrisky, saying that he had bribed some officials of the EFCC with N15,000,000 to drop the money laundering charges against him before he was sentenced to six months in prison on April 12th, for abusing the naira.
Bobrisky also allegedly claimed in the audio recording, that he never spent a night in prison and that Femi Falana a senior advocate of Nigeria and the father of popular musician ‘Falz’ was hired to secure a presidential pardon for him in exchange for N10,000,000.
Bobrisky has however denied all the allegations, in post on instagram on Wednesday, saying that the Audio recording is Fake.
Very Dark Man’s post which has since gone viral, has caught the attention of the economic and financial crimes commission and the ministry of interior, both agencies have ordered an immediate investigation into the allegations.
The post has also caught the attention of Falz, who on Wednesday demanded a 24 hour retraction from Very dark man for defamation after he claimed that Falz may have been complicit in the scandal, and also questioned his sexual orientation.
