VeryDarkMan releases new audio alleging Bobrisky’s bribery claims involving the EFCC and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria. The saga intensifies as both sides prepare for legal battles.
The ongoing feud between social media influencer Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan (VDM), and controversial Nigerian crossdresser Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, has reached a new height with the release of another audio recording. VDM, known for his vocal criticism of corruption and injustice, has shared yet another alleged audio clip of Bobrisky, this time containing shocking claims about bribery, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and Bobrisky’s time in detention.
This fresh leak adds to the growing controversy surrounding Bobrisky’s legal battles with the EFCC, particularly regarding the alleged money laundering charges.
Bobrisky's New Allegations
In this recently leaked audio, Bobrisky allegedly confesses to securing his release from the EFCC’s scrutiny through bribery. According to VDM, the conversation took place on May 16, 2024, and Bobrisky openly discusses the intricate details of how he managed to stay out of prison with the help of a godfather. He mentions that he was placed in a luxurious apartment near the prison rather than an actual cell, thanks to the influence of this unnamed individual.
Bobrisky also discussed the EFCC’s investigation into his finances. He claims they froze his accounts while attempting to build a money laundering case against him. However, he said that despite the charges, the EFCC found no illegal activity, which led to the charges being dropped. In the leaked audio, Bobrisky purportedly stated:
"Initially, they added money laundering charges because of the funds they found in my account and the money passed through it. So, they had some money, but we were able to plead with them and give them some funds to drop the money laundering charges against me."
This raises serious questions about the role of bribery in dropping these charges, further fuelling public interest in the case. Bobrisky admitted that N15 million was paid to the EFCC officials to have the case dismissed, although he maintains that the funds in question were legitimate earnings from his influencer work.
A Pardon Secured by a Senior Advocate?
Adding to the already complex narrative, the new audio recording released by VDM highlights a more controversial claim by Bobrisky. The crossdresser purportedly reveals that he paid N5 million to a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) to secure a federal pardon. Although the SAN initially requested N10 million, Bobrisky’s frozen account prevented him from raising the full amount. According to the leaked audio, Bobrisky is heard saying:
“The SAN asked for N10 million, which I could have transferred, but my account is frozen. My godfather gave me N5 million, and we sent it to the SAN two weeks ago. He has already submitted the pardon request.”
This further complicates Bobrisky’s narrative as the case now involves prominent legal figures and allegations of high-level corruption.
A Web of Allegations and Denials
The fallout from the leaked audios continues to ripple through Nigerian social media. Bobrisky has denied all allegations and claims that the accusations are fabricated. On the other side, the legal figure named in the case, Femi Falana, denied any association with Bobrisky. The Senior Advocate has stated that he never dealt with the crossdresser personally and that any communication regarding the case involved his son, Falz, the popular musician.
Despite Falana’s denials, the continuous revelations by VDM have kept the story alive in the public eye. The feud is intensifying, with Falana reportedly planning to take legal action against VeryDarkMan to address the alleged defamation. However, VDM remains undeterred, boldly stating on his social media accounts that:
"Before them bring lawsuit, this is a well-detailed confession from Bobrisky, which involves everyone deeply, EFCC, SAN, and correctional."
As the saga unfolds, both supporters and critics continue to engage in heated debates across social media platforms. VDM’s persistence in exposing what he believes is systemic corruption within Nigeria has earned him widespread attention, though some caution him about the potential dangers involved in taking on such powerful figures.
Public Reaction and Social Media Outcry
As expected, the latest revelations have sparked a flurry of reactions from netizens. While some laud VDM for exposing corruption, others express concern for his safety.
I am a Ghanaian, how I wish you can protect this guy ! Its hard to find activist like him
On the flip side, some are skeptical of the authenticity of the leaked audios, suggesting that VDM might be sensationalizing the case for attention. However, VDM has remained firm in his claims, asserting that he has verifiable evidence to back up his accusations.
Where does he get these tapes? And if he wants to fight corruption in the country he should do that straight without dragging bobrisky. There are better cases out there
Conclusion
The Bobrisky-VDM saga is far from over, with both parties digging in for what promises to be a long legal and public relations battle. The constant drip of new audios, coupled with the ongoing denials from Bobrisky and the high-profile legal defense being prepared by Falana, has captivated the Nigerian public.
As more details emerge, the controversy continues to unfold, keeping Nigerians on the edge of their seats. Whether these allegations result in concrete legal action or become just another social media spectacle remains to be seen. However, one thing is clear—VeryDarkMan’s campaign against corruption is not slowing down anytime soon.
