Popular Social media activist Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, has honoured the invitation of the the National Assembly alongside his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju.
He is currently attending a session with the House of Representatives Joint Committee, which is investigating serious allegations of corruption involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Correctional Services (NCoS).
Also present before the committee are representatives from both the EFCC and the Nigerian Correctional Services, as well as Bobrisky’s lawyer, Avwerosuoghene Omuvwie.
However, Bobrisky, also known as Idris Okuneye, has not yet appeared in person. His lawyer is standing in for him in the proceedings.
When given the opportunity to speak, VeryDarkMan expressed his unwillingness to address the committee, citing Bobrisky’s absence: “Today, I will not say anything because an invitation was given out to me and Bobrisky. But he is not here.
“I don’t see why I will be here and he is not. So I won’t say anything, but my lawyer will.”
This development follows a controversial audio recording shared by VeryDarkMan, in which Bobrisky allegedly claimed to have bribed EFCC officials with ₦15 million to drop a money laundering charge against her.
Additionally, the audio suggested that Bobrisky never served her six-month prison sentence for Naira abuse, instead staying in an apartment.
Bobrisky has strongly denied these allegations and has threatened to take legal action.
In response to the back-and-forth between the two parties, the House of Representatives launched an inquiry into the EFCC and NCoS to investigate the claims.
