EFCC takes move on Bobrisky vs VeryDarkMan
Legit.ng earlier reported that the EFCC's chairman, Ola Olukoyode, has ordered an immediate investigation into Very Dark Man's (VDM) allegation against some commission officers.
In a trending video, VDM played a trending voice call of Idris Okunleye, aka Bobrisky, an ex-convict, where he accused the EFCC officials of collecting an N15 million bribe to strike out his case.
The anti-graft agency then extended his invitation to VDM and Bobrisky to visit his Lagos office and assist in the investigation.
