Bobrisky Claims: “My Godfather Funded N5M for My Pardon”
Bobrisky, has stirred controversy once again by claiming that he paid N5 million as an initial payment to an unnamed Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) to help secure a pardon from the Federal Government for charges of money laundering.
These charges had been filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The revelation came to light on Monday, October 7, 2024, after a leaked audio clip surfaced online. The clip was shared by popular social media influencer, Martins Otse, who is widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM).
According to VDM, the conversation was recorded on May 16, 2024, where Bobrisky can be heard discussing his legal battle and efforts to obtain clemency.
In the audio, Bobrisky revealed that the SAN initially demanded N10 million to facilitate the pardon request.
However, Bobrisky explained that his account had been frozen by the EFCC, leaving him unable to meet the full amount.
He said, “I’m supposed to finish my sentence by July, but if we manage to secure the amnesty, I could be out by the first week of next month.”
Bobrisky further explained that despite his financial limitations, he was able to raise N5 million, thanks to a contribution from his godfather.
“My godfather gave me N5 million, and we sent it to the SAN two weeks ago. He has already filed the request for a pardon,” Bobrisky purportedly said in the leaked call.
The scandal has sparked heated reactions, with many questioning the integrity of the legal process and whether such an arrangement could influence a government decision on criminal charges.
Adding another twist to the controversy, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, who was rumored to be connected to Bobrisky, publicly denied having any involvement in the case.
Falana clarified that he had never met Bobrisky, stating that the cross-dresser had only spoken with his son, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, but that he personally had no business dealings with him.
This unfolding drama has further fueled public debate about the role of influential figures in securing legal favors, especially in high-profile cases.
While Bobrisky’s claim has not been independently verified, the situation has kept many Nigerians closely following updates, eager to see how the case will develop.
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
