“Haters you won” – Bobrisky contemplates su!cide amid VeryDarkMan’s N15m bribery allegations

• Nigerian cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, has contemplated suicide following allegations of bribery worth N15 million.

• Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, released an audio of Bobrisky offering N15 million to EFCC operatives.

• The funds were intended to help the anti-graft agency drop money laundering charges against him and avoid his jail term at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre in Lagos State.

Nigerian cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, known as Bobrisky, has expressed thoughts of suicide in light of allegations involving a N15 million bribery scheme against him.

Prominent activist and social media figure Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, recently released an audio recording in which Bobrisky purportedly offers N15 million to officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). This sum was allegedly intended to persuade the agency to dismiss money laundering charges against him and to prevent a potential prison sentence at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre in Lagos State.

Bobrisky has refuted the claims made in the audio, labeling it as fraudulent. Nevertheless, in a post on Facebook, he revealed that he is contemplating suicide due to ongoing efforts to undermine his reputation.

He wrote: “I have never in my life thought about suicide in my life but now is coming to my head seeing what human being are doing to their fellow human just in the name you want to bring them down by force or because you don’t like them.

“I don’t need no sympathy from anyone. People I might have need sympathy from are my late parent. But who will fight for you? Friends? Haters you won.”

Meanwhile, Controversial Nigerian influencer and activist, Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, has disclosed that he possesses additional incriminating evidence against crossdresser Idris Okuneye, commonly referred to as Bobrisky.

This announcement follows the release of a purported voice note in which Bobrisky claimed to have served a six-month sentence for naira abuse in a private residence.

VeryDarkMan also emphasized that he did not intend to defame human rights attorney and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, as has been suggested in online discussions.

“Now, let me tell you something even more interesting. I have another voice note to post, which I will share tomorrow, and it’s from a different person,” VeryDarkMan stated in an Instagram post. “I want a thorough investigation into this matter because the EFCC was mentioned, the Comptroller General of Prisons was named, as well as Uncle Femi Falana and Falz. A deep investigation will reveal everything.”

This statement comes in the wake of Falana’s denial of any connection to Bobrisky and his issuance of a 24-hour ultimatum to VeryDarkMan to retract his claims linking him to Bobrisky.

Falana’s legal representative, in a correspondence to VeryDarkMan, demanded a retraction and an apology.

The controversy originated when VeryDarkMan shared a voice note in which Bobrisky alleged that, following his conviction and sentencing for naira note abuse in April, his godfather, in conjunction with the Controller General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, arranged for him to serve his six-month sentence in a private apartment.

In the voice note, Bobrisky also purportedly claimed that he had been approached by rapper Falz and his father, Falana, who allegedly offered to assist him in obtaining a Federal Government pardon for a fee of ₦10 million.

However, in the letter from his legal team demanding a retraction and apology, Falana asserted: “We wish to state, without any fear of contradiction, that our client (Falana) has never, in his life, spoken to Bobrisky regarding his alleged pardon or on any matter whatsoever.”

VeryDarkMan responded to the letter by stating that he did not defame the human rights lawyer; rather, he simply questioned the lawyer’s purported involvement.
