The investigation into the alleged N15 million bribery involving controversial cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, known as Bobrisky, commenced in the House on Monday, September 30.
DailyPost reports that the hearing, held by the House Committees on Financial Crimes and Reformatory Institutions, began around 2:05 p.m. following the arrival of Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, and his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju.
Recall that the scandal started after VeryDarkMan released a voice recording allegedly of Bobrisky, claiming EFCC officials demanded N15 million to drop the money laundering charge against him.
In the recording, Bobrisky also claimed that he never spent a day in prison after his conviction, stating that his godfather arranged for him to serve his term in a lodge instead of a jail, a comment that implicated the Nigerian Correctional Services.
However, it was gathered that Bobrisky did not attend the hearing. His lawyer appeared on his behalf, claiming his client’s absence due to illness.
