Bobrisky was reportedly arrested at the Benin Republic border while attempting to flee from an ongoing investigation in Nigeria. This situation is linked to a broader bribery and corruption scandal involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The case involves allegations that Bobrisky paid substantial bribes to avoid prosecution for money laundering, with a viral audio recording of Bobrisky discussing these bribes sparking public outrage.
Influencer VeryDarkMan has been a central figure in exposing this situation, alleging that Bobrisky used bribery to secure favorable treatment while serving time in prison. Both the EFCC and the Nigerian Correctional Service have launched investigations into these claims. Additionally, VeryDarkMan’s accusations have prompted the Nigerian House of Representatives to summon various officials, including Bobrisky and the EFCC chairman, for questioning.
The case is still developing, and Bobrisky has denied these allegations through his lawyer, claiming illness as a reason for missing a parliamentary hearing.
