During the ongoing House of Representatives investigation into allegations against Idris Okuneye, known as Bobrisky, and the Nigerian Correctional Services, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) representative Bilikisu Buhari disclosed that charges of money laundering against Bobrisky were dropped. She explained that this decision was based on Bobrisky’s confessional statement in court concerning naira abuse. Buhari emphasized that the EFCC acted within its mandate, affirming that no financial inducement was involved and that amending charges is within the EFCC’s powers.
The Chairman of the Committee, Ginger Onwusibe, announced that the individual who recorded the audio related to the case should appear before the committee in future sessions. The meeting was then adjourned indefinitely.
VeryDarkMan, the whistleblower, presented evidence during the probe, stating that he obtained an audio recording from a person who borrowed ₦4 million from Bobrisky. He claimed to have additional evidence and hinted at more audio recordings that he would reveal in due course. He also mentioned that Bobrisky had referenced a “Godfather” but did not elaborate.
Bobrisky’s legal counsel, Avwerosuoghene Omuvwie, informed the committee that his client could not attend due to illness.
