We Arrested Bobrisky After Refusing To Honour Invitation To Name Officials He Allegedly Bribed, Says EFCC

Published

on

By

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has disclosed what led to the arrest of controversial crossdresser Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky.

Society Reporters had earlier reported that Bobrisky was arrested on Thursday night at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos State.

He was arrested while attempting to flee Nigeria for London amid allegations of bribery against him.

He was later transferred from Lagos to Abuja for proper interrogation.

Explaining the reasons behind the arrest in a telephone conversation with SaharaReporters on Friday morning, the spokesman for the Commission, Mr Dele Oyewale, said Bobrisky was arrested because he refused to honour an invitation sent to him.

The EFCC official said the crossdresser was arrested in connection with the allegation of bribery against him.

“We arrested him last night and we took him to Abuja because our team investigators are in Abuja,” the EFCC spokesman said.

He continued: “He was trying to run away from mentioning those he said collected bribe from him. We have sent him invitation but he refused to honour our invitation and he was trying to leave the country.

“This was why we arrested him. We want him to come and mention the names of the official involved in the bribery but he has not shown up.”

When SaharaReporters enquired whether Bobrisky will be charged with bribery by the EFCC, Mr Oyewale said he did not have any information regarding that yet.

In October, we reported that Bobrisky had been arrested while attempting to escape to the Benin Republic.

we also reported that Bobrisky was arrested by the Customs service at the Seme-Nigerian border during a passport check.

His arrest at the border came a few hours before he was scheduled to attend a Senate panel of inquiry meeting regarding allegations against him.

A magistrate court sitting in Abuja has granted the embattled social media influencer, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan N2million bail.

 

VeryDarkMan was arraigned on Friday at Court 1, Chief Magistrate Court, Wuse Zone 6, in the Federal Capital Territory for allegedly impersonating a policeman.

 

 

The blogger was granted N2 million bail in the ruling of the court in charge no. CR/510/2024: Commissioner of Police v. Vincent Martins Otse aka VeryDarkMan.

 

 

Also, the bail conditions include the provision of two sureties in like terms and sureties are to deposit their passports with the court. The sureties must reside within the court’s jurisdiction, particularly Abuja municipal.

 

⁠Sureties are also to provide means of identification and depose to affidavit to provide the defendant during trial at all times.

 

 

The court also ruled that the prosecutor should verify the sureties’ addresses while the sureties will also provide their utility bills.

 

The court also ruled that VeryDarkMan will depose to an affidavit that he will be available at all times during trial.

 

Recall that VeryDarkMan had earlier apologized to the Nigeria Police Force for wearing the police uniform.

 

“In response to recent developments, VDM, whose real name is Martins Otse, is set to appear in court today following allegations of impersonation related to the unauthorized use of Nigeria Police Force uniforms in a viral social media video,” the law enforcement agency wrote on X.

 

 

“The FCT Police Command is actively handling the case, underscoring the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to upholding the integrity of its symbols and preventing their misuse. Interested persons are encouraged to follow up on the proceedings as the case unfolds.”

 

 

The police had condemned his unauthorized use of the uniform and initiated an investigation.

 

 

In the controversial video, VeryDarkMan was seen wearing a police uniform and introduced himself as a Chief Superintendent of Police, CSP, of the Online Division.

 

Amid the backlash, the social media critic released a video on Thursday apologizing for using attire resembling the official police uniform.

 

He also advised Nigerians to seek proper authorization before wearing police attire to avoid misunderstandings or legal repercussions.
