- Rufai Oseni, a veteran journalist, has expressed skepticism about the justice that may be served in the ongoing controversy surrounding Bobrisky’s prison sentence.
- Bobrisky paid N15 million to EFCC to drop money laundering charges and enjoyed VIP treatment during his six-month sentence for naira abuse.
Veteran journalist Rufai Oseni has expressed doubt regarding the possibility of achieving justice in the ongoing situation involving crossdresser Bobrisky’s prison sentence.
Reports have emerged suggesting that Bobrisky allegedly paid N15 million to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to have money laundering charges dismissed, and that he received preferential treatment during his six-month incarceration for naira abuse.
Oseni took to X to articulate his apprehensions, remarking, “I will be surprised if justice is done in this prison saga.”
He referenced prior unresolved prison issues highlighted by Fisayo Soyombo, fearing a similar lack of resolution in this case.
Oseni hopes that the situation will not deteriorate into mere social media theatrics and defamation lawsuits, stressing that entrenched interests frequently obstruct Nigeria’s efforts to address societal challenges.
In light of the allegations, the House of Representatives has summoned:
– EFCC Chairman Ola Olukayode
– Nigerian Correctional Service Comptroller General Haliru Nababa
– Bobrisky
– VeryDarkMan
– All officials involved in Bobrisky’s prosecution
They are expected to appear on September 30th along with relevant personnel.
As a prominent figure in the media, Rufai Oseni’s concerns resonate with widespread skepticism regarding Nigeria’s justice system, especially in cases of high public interest.
His insights and experience underscore the critical need for transparency and accountability.

In other news, VeryDarkMan is scheduled to appear before the Nigerian House of Representatives on Monday regarding bribery allegations involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
This controversy arises from an audio recording released by VeryDarkMan, in which the crossdresser Bobrisky purportedly stated that he had bribed EFCC officials with N15 million to dismiss a money laundering case against him.
In the alleged audio, Bobrisky also mentioned that he managed to evade a six-month prison sentence at Kirikiri Prison in Lagos due to arrangements made by his godfather, who supposedly secured him lodging in a facility rather than incarceration.
In light of these serious accusations, the House of Representatives has summoned VeryDarkMan, Bobrisky, and EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede as part of a comprehensive investigation into the issue.
Deji Adeyanju, the legal representative for VeryDarkMan, confirmed that his client will appear before the National Assembly Investigative Panel to aid in clarifying the Bobrisky scandal involving the EFCC and officials from the Nigerian Correctional Service.
Adeyanju wrote: “We will be at the National Assembly tomorrow with our client @thatverydarkman to assist in investigations into allegations by Bobrisky that he/she paid N15m to have money laundering charges dropped by EFCC and also bribed prison officials to stay in an apartment.”
