Bobrisky's video alleging she bribed EFCC officers

Idris Okuneye (alias Bobrisky) alleged in a viral video that she offered some unnamed EFCC officers N15,000,000 as a bribe to drop money laundering charges levied against him.

Contrary to his allegations, EFCC prosecutor Bilikisu Bala explained to The House of Representatives on 30th September 2024 that the commission lawfully dropped Okuneye's money laundering trial in compliance with the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, ACJA.

The EFCC prosecutor said:

We initially raised six count charges bordering on Naira Abuse and Money Laundering against Okuneye based on his confessional statement that his firm, Bob Express, was not registered with SCUML and was not rendering returns to it.

Counts 1-4 were on Naira Abuse, while counts five and six were on money laundering...We cannot lawfully sustain the charges in all sincerity. We, therefore, dropped them and relied on the four counts of Naira mutilation to which Okuneye had pleaded guilty.
