Bobrisky, an ex-convict, claimed in a video shared by blogger Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, that some unnamed EFCC officers extorted ₦15 million from him to drop money laundering charges.
In a statement released on Tuesday, EFCC spokesman Dele Oyewale confirmed that the commission’s chairman has assembled a team of investigators to thoroughly examine the allegations
“To this end, the Commission hereby invites both Okuneye and Otse (VeryDarkMan) to make themselves available at its Lagos Directorate to assist investigators unearth the alleged bribery,” he said.
