VeryDarkMan, the controversial activist, has reacted to the
invitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The Abuja-based social media critic and Bobrisky were asked
to make themselves available at the Lagos directorate of the EFCC after he
shared a video online wherein the crossdresser claimed she bribed some
officials of the agency with N15,000,000 to drop the charges against her.
Bobrisky, whose birth name is Idris Okuneye, was released
from prison on August 5 after she was sentenced to six months on April 12 for
abusing the naira.
Reacting to the EFCC’s invitation via a video on his
Instagram page, VeryDarkMan said the EFCC is yet to address the “core issue” —
which is ” to confirm Bobrisky’s detention”.
The activist also questioned the EFCC’s motives. He asked
the agency to investigate their officers, particularly those involved in
Bobrisky’s case, before inviting him for questioning.
“The EFCC’s press release didn’t even address the core
issue. Why didn’t they confirm that Bobrisky was in their custody? Bobrisky is
the suspect, and the EFCC should have verified that,” he said.
“If the person who released the statement couldn’t confirm
Bobrisky’s detention, there’s a problem. Before inviting someone like me, you
should first conduct a thorough investigation of your officers, especially
those involved in Bobrisky’s case.
“Examine their
accounts and actions. Only after that can you invite me, Martin Otse, aka
VeryDarkMan. You’re asking me to come to Lagos when the EFCC headquarters is in
Abuja—it doesn’t make sense.
“I suggest you invite Bobrisky to Abuja for the
investigation. Besides, I don’t have N15 million to settle anything, and I
don’t have a godfather. I don’t trust you, and you could easily set me up.
Investigate your officers first, then talk to me.
“Even if I want to come you have to book me a first-class
ticket and a five-star hotel. You can send me an invitation to come with my
money, no be me collect N15 million now.”
