Controversial social media critic, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan has revealed how he got a contentious phone recording of cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky.
VeryDarkMan (VDM) explained the authenticity of the trending audio record, stating that it was received from someone to whom Bobrisky owed money, as he submitted part of the recording to the Committee.
VDM made this revelation on Monday when he presented himself before the House of Representatives’ panel investigating bribery allegations involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).
Also, officials of the EFCC and the NCoS were presented as the Committees on Financial Crimes and Reformatory Institutions commenced an investigation into allegations of bribery and corruption leveled against the anti-graft agency and the prison service.
VeryDarkMan initially refused to address the committee due to the absence of Bobrisky who was also invited but sent a lawyer instead.
However, lawmakers countered VDM’s submission and moved a motion compelling him to make an address on the subject matter of the voice recording that he released.
But his lawyer prevailed on him to address the committee.
“How I got hold of that recording is as a result of Bobrisky blackmailing somebody he owes money.
“So, according to a proof of chat that was sent to me, the person borrowed Bobrisky N4 million when he was in EFCC detention or rather in a private apartment. The person gave him the money on 19/6/2024,” he said.
VDM narrated that the said money was paid into the account of Bobrisky’s relative Abiola Okuneye, adding that when it was time to get the money back, the lender reached out to Bobrisky who promised to pay it back on 19 September.
“On September 1st, the guy reached out to Bobrisky again but Bobrisky refused. The next thing that followed was blackmail. He said I will tell them that you are smooching me and you are kissing me,” VeryDarkMan said.
He added that a friend of his narrated the situation to him, saying that he had reached out to Bobrisky to pay back in four hours
VDM added that Bobrisky had paid the money but he still had to release the video because so many people suffering in prison.
“When I listened to the audio I said nah, even though you paid, it has to go out there because EFCC cannot go around harassing people while someone with a godfather will be pulling stunts.
“I was detained in the prison, my very good friend Seun Kuti was detained as well, a lot of boys are detained in the prison and Bobrisky is not in any way better than them,” he said.
In a viral video, VeryDarkMan alleged that Bobrisky paid ₦15 million for the anti-graft agency to drop money laundering charges against him during his naira-spraying ordeal in April after which a court sentenced him to six months imprisonment.
VDM also alleged that Bobrisky paid some millions of naira to secure a choice of place in prison.
The cross dresser has since denied the allegations while the EFCC and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) ordered investigations into the allegations by the blogger.
