Lawyer and activist Deji Adeyanju has praised the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for launching an investigation into allegations that some of its officials accepted a bribe from social media personality Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, to drop a money laundering charge.

The investigation follows a voicenote released by fellow activist and social media personality VeryDarkMan, in which Bobrisky allegedly claimed he was asked to pay N15 million to have the money laundering charges against him dropped. However, Bobrisky has denied making such statements, labeling the claims as false information.

In light of the situation, the EFCC has invited both VeryDarkMan and Bobrisky to provide clarity on the allegations.

In his commendation, Adeyanju stated, “I commend the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for swiftly committing to investigate the bribery allegations made by Idris Okuneye against some EFCC officers. The allegations, which involve the collection of N15 million to drop money laundering charges, are serious and deserve thorough attention.”

He further noted that the EFCC’s prompt action reflects a commitment to integrity and professionalism. Adeyanju urged the commission to conduct a comprehensive investigation and hold any guilty parties accountable, emphasizing that such transparency is vital for maintaining public trust in the EFCC’s mandate to combat corruption.

“Transparency and accountability are essential in maintaining public confidence. I encourage the EFCC to keep the public informed about the investigation’s progress and findings,” he added. Adeyanju believes that this investigation is crucial for upholding the rule of law and tackling corruption in Nigeria.
