- Earlier, he asked the agency to investigate their officers, particularly those involved in Bobrisky’s case, before inviting him for questioning.
- Bobrisky would later deny the bribery claim, arguing that the recording was “fake”.
- The crossdresser’s denial came after the EFCC invited her and VeryDarkMan over the allegations.
Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has arrived at the National Assembly to testify over a case.
He will appear before a joint committee of the House of Representatives, tasked with investigating financial crimes and institutional reform, regarding allegations of bribery against Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) officials and Haliru Nababa, head of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).
Resplendent in traditional attire, VeryDarkMan entered the green chamber accompanied by his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju.

The EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyode is represented by his chief of staff, Michael Nzekwe, while Haliru Nababa is also present.
Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, has yet to arrive, but her lawyer, Avwerosuoghene Omuvwie, is already in the chamber.
VeryDarkMan previously released an audio recording of Bobrisky claiming to have paid N15 million to EFCC officials to drop money laundering charges.
This hearing follows the lower legislative chamber’s decision to investigate the allegations against the EFCC and NCoS on Thursday.
