Controversial Nigerian social media personality, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan appeared before the House of Representatives panel investigating bribery allegations against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) yesterday.
Officials of the EFCC and the NCoS were also present as the Committees on Financial Crimes and Reformatory Institutions commenced an investigation into allegations of bribery and corruption levelled against the anti-graft agency and the prison service by the blogger.
It would be recalled that in a viral video, VeryDarkMan alleged that recently released crossdresser, Bobrisky paid ₦15 million for the anti-graft agency to drop money laundering charges against him during his naira spraying ordeal in April, after which a court sentenced him to six months imprisonment.
The blogger also alleged that Bobrisky paid some millions of naira to secure a choice place in prison. However, the crossdresser denied the allegation and proceeded to sue the blogger. On their part, the EFCC and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) have ordered investigations into the allegations by the blogger.
The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) had urged the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Lateef Fagbemi (SAN); and the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu; to conduct an independent investigation into allegations made by a blogger.
