The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has ordered an immediate investigation into bribery allegations made against some of the Commission’s officers by Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, in a viral video circulating across social media platforms.
In the video, Okuneye, an ex-convict, accused unnamed EFCC officers of collecting ₦15 million from him in exchange for dropping money laundering charges.
The allegations were brought to light in a video posted by Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan.
In a statement released by Dele Oyewale, EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, on Tuesday, the Commission’s Chairman responded by assembling a team of investigators to thoroughly examine the claims.
As part of the investigation, the EFCC has summoned both Okuneye and Otse to its Lagos office to assist in uncovering the details of the alleged bribery.
The EFCC assured the public that the allegations would be meticulously investigated, with the findings made public in due course.
