As reported by Channels TV, the allegation of bribery against the anti-graft agency and the Nigeria Correctional Service followed a trending social media voice conversation involving a crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, sentenced earlier this year to six months in prison for abuse of the naira.

The trending voice conversation suggested that Idris, popularly known as Bobrisky, paid N15 million to EFCC to drop charges of money laundering initially made against him and that he spent time in a VIP facility instead of prison.
