- Bobrisky, a controversial cross-dresser, claims to have paid N5 million to a Senior Advocate of Nigeria to secure a Federal Government pardon for money laundering charges.
- Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, leaked an audio on October 7, 2024, on social media.
- On May 16, 2024, Bobrisky claimed the SAN requested N10 million, but his account was frozen by the EFCC, as per VDM’s recording.
Controversial figure Idris Olanrewaju Okuneye, widely recognized as Bobrisky, has asserted that he made an upfront payment of N5 million to an undisclosed Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) in an effort to obtain a pardon from the Federal Government regarding money laundering allegations filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
This information was revealed through a leaked audio recording on Monday, October 7, 2024, by social media influencer Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan (VDM).
VDM stated that the recording was captured on May 16, 2024. In the audio, Bobrisky alleged that the SAN initially requested N10 million, but he was unable to provide the full sum due to his bank account being frozen by the EFCC.
“I’m supposed to finish my sentence by July, but if we get the amnesty, I could leave by the first week of next month,” Bobrisky purportedly said.
“The SAN asked for N10million, which I could have transferred, but my account is frozen.
“My godfather gave me N5million and we sent it to the SAN two weeks ago. He has already submitted the pardon request.”
Recently, Gstlover reported that Femi Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, denied any association with Bobrisky.
Falana maintained that he has never engaged in any dealings with Bobrisky and that the cross-dresser only communicated with his son, Folarin Falana, also known as Falz.
