Popular Nigerian social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, is set to appear before the House of Representatives on Monday to address bribery allegations made against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The case stems from an audio clip released by Otse, in which Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky, allegedly claimed to have bribed EFCC officials with ₦15 million to drop a money laundering case against him. In the same recording, Bobrisky also claimed to have avoided serving a six-month prison sentence at Kirikiri Prison in Lagos, thanks to his “godfather,” who allegedly arranged alternative accommodation in a lodge.
In response to these serious allegations, the House of Representatives extended invitations to VeryDarkMan, Bobrisky, and EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede as part of a wider investigation into the matter.
VeryDarkMan’s lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, confirmed that his client would cooperate fully with the probe. Speaking to *Daily Post* on Sunday, Adeyanju stated, “We will be at the National Assembly tomorrow with our client @thatverydarkman to assist in investigations into allegations by Bobrisky that he/she paid ₦15 million to have money laundering charges dropped by EFCC and also bribed prison officials to stay in an apartment.”
The hearing marks a significant moment in the ongoing investigation into corruption allegations involving high-profile figures and government agencies.
