Bobrisky: VDM gives details of how he got viral call recording before House of Reps panel

National Assembly investigates Bobrisky’s alleged bribery:

The controversy began when VeryDarkMan shared an audio recording of Bobrisky claiming she bribed EFCC officials with N15 million to drop money laundering charges against her.

Bobrisky, who was released on August 5 after serving a six-month sentence for abusing the naira, purportedly stated in the recording that her “godfather” and Nababa ensured she served her sentence in a private apartment rather than in prison.

Bobrisky has since denied the bribery allegations, calling the recording “fake.” Her denial came after the EFCC invited both him and VeryDarkMan for questioning over the allegations.

The joint committee, in a letter dated September 27, has requested Olukoyode and Nababa to appear today with all officers involved in the allegations.
