Reps to Investigate Bobrisky’s Alleged N15 Million Bribe to EFCC

The Nigerian House of Representatives has decided to launch an investigation into the alleged payment of a N15 million bribe to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) by Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky.
This decision came after a motion of urgent public importance was raised by Patrick Umoh during the House’s plenary session on Thursday.
Earlier this year, Bobrisky, a controversial social media personality and cross-dresser, was sentenced to six months in prison for currency mutilation.
However, recent developments have sparked controversy.
On Tuesday night, Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, released an audio recording in which Bobrisky allegedly claimed to have bribed EFCC officials with N15 million to have the money laundering charges against him dropped.
In the recording, Bobrisky also suggested that, contrary to his conviction, he never spent a day in prison.
He claimed his influential connections, particularly a godfather, arranged for him to serve his sentence in a private lodge instead of a jail cell.
Umoh, representing Akwa Ibom State, expressed deep concern over these revelations, describing the allegations as “disturbing.”
He highlighted the damage such claims could do to Nigeria’s international reputation, portraying the country as one deeply entangled in corruption despite ongoing efforts to improve its image and tackle financial crimes.
In response to these concerns, the House of Representatives resolved to form an ad-hoc committee to investigate the allegations.
The committee will be composed of members known for their integrity and impartiality.
They have been tasked with conducting a thorough probe into the matter and presenting their findings to the House within three legislative weeks.
The probe aims to uncover the truth behind the allegations and ensure that justice is served.
It also seeks to send a strong message that no one, regardless of status or influence, is above the law.
This investigation has become a significant issue as it touches on the integrity of key national institutions like the EFCC, which are entrusted with the responsibility of fighting corruption in the country.
The outcome of this investigation could have far-reaching implications for both the accused and the credibility of Nigeria’s anti-corruption efforts.
As the committee begins its work, the nation will be watching closely to see how the events unfold and what the investigation will reveal about these serious allegations.

Chimamanda Adichie Tells Women not to Rush Marriage but Choose Right

Famous Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has advised young women to be intentional when choosing who they marry.
Speaking at the Dream Count event, Adichie pointed out how much a life partner can influence a woman’s journey. She urged women not to rush into marriage out of pressure or desperation, adding that choosing the wrong person can affect one’s life for years.
She also encouraged women to find fulfilment in themselves, no matter their passion or path. “It’s really important for a woman to have her own thing, something that brings her fulfilment, no matter what it is,” Adichie said.
She continued, “Be careful who you choose. Sometimes, deep down, you know the person you’re with isn’t good for you, but because you’re eager to settle down, you ignore the signs. Don’t settle. The person you marry plays a huge role in how your life turns out. If you choose someone who is kind and supportive, it changes everything. There are good men out there.”

Amaechi Says Buhari Performed Better Than Tinubu

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, believes that despite his shortcomings, former President Muhammadu Buhari performed better than the current administration under President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi admitted Buhari didn’t achieve everything he set out to do, but insisted that things were still better under his leadership compared to now. “Buhari will be the first to tell you he didn’t accomplish all his plans, but by every standard, his government outperformed this one,” Amaechi said.
The former Rivers State governor pointed to areas like security and the independence of institutions, especially the electoral commission, as key areas where Buhari did better. “In terms of security, Buhari placed more focus there. When it comes to the independence of INEC, there was far more freedom under Buhari than we’re seeing now,” he added.
Amaechi also criticised the current state of politics, claiming that new political parties can’t even get registered because of interference from government officials. He made it clear that his comments are not personal, saying he would have been the first to commend President Tinubu if things were going well.
