How many months Bobrisky spent in prison?

Bobrisky's past troubles with the law are well-documented. He was sentenced to six months in prison for mutilating naira notes at social events. Despite his history, the EFCC is taking his allegations seriously.

However, the House of Representatives stepped into the matter to address the allegation against the anti-graft agency and invite the parties involved, including the socialite, Bobrisky.

On interrogation day, when VeryDarkMan and the EFCC representatives were present, Bobrisky was absent and was only represented by his lawyer.

Why was Bobrisky absent before the House committee?

However, the socialite's lawyer claimed that Bobrisky was not feeling fine, and the House of Representatives demanded a medical report on his state of health while resolving that he was expected to appear before its committee.
