Court Rejects Bobrisky’s N1.2 Billion Claim Over Rights Violation Against EFCC
A Federal High Court in Lagos State has dismissed a fundamental rights suit filed by popular crossdresser, Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, widely known as Bobrisky, against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The suit also included a demand against the National Assembly, alleging a violation of his rights.
Bobrisky had approached the court seeking N200 million as compensation for psychological trauma he claimed to have suffered due to the actions of the EFCC.
Additionally, he demanded a staggering N1 billion from the National Assembly, accusing both entities of violating his right to a fair hearing.
The crossdresser further sought an order restraining the EFCC and the National Assembly from harassing, detaining, or issuing a wanted notice against him.
The legal battle stems from an audio recording that was allegedly leaked by Martins Otse, a social media influencer, claiming that Bobrisky had paid N15 million to the EFCC in exchange for dropping money laundering charges.
Delivering the judgment, Justice Alexander Owoeye stated that Bobrisky’s claims of rights violations were unsubstantiated and not backed by credible evidence.
The judge emphasized that the evidence presented by the crossdresser failed to meet the necessary legal threshold to support his case.
In the court’s ruling, Justice Owoeye remarked, “After thoroughly evaluating the evidence brought before this court, it is clear that the applicant has not provided sufficient proof to justify the declaratory and injunctive reliefs being sought.
The claims of rights violations against the first and second respondents are unfounded and have no merit. Therefore, they are dismissed.”
The EFCC, represented by its spokesperson Dele Oyewale, welcomed the judgment, stating that it reaffirmed the agency’s stance on the matter.
The commission maintained that its actions were within the bounds of the law and aimed at upholding accountability in financial matters.
Justice Owoeye also declined to award damages against the EFCC, rejecting Bobrisky’s request for monetary compensation.
