Crossdresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has been released on bail by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Spokesman of the anti-graft agency, Dele Oyewale, confirmed his release on Saturday to PUNCH but declined further comments.
A source who had information on the matter, however, told the newspaper that the crossdresser was released on bail after denying bribing EFCC officials in his statement at the EFCC’s headquarters in Abuja.
“He denied everything about releasing money to any official as a bribe to drop the money laundering charges against him,” the source said.
Also, Bobrisky, according to the source, challenged the person who posted the voice note to defend it.
Social media personality, Martins Otse popularly known as VeryDarkMan, posted the voice note where Bobrisky allegedly claimed to have paid EFCC officials N15 million to drop money laundering charges against him.
VeryDarkMan insists Bobrisky should be held responsible for everything said in the voice note.
Bobrisky was removed from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos late Thursday night while attempting to leave the country for London, the United Kingdom.
He quickly alerted his followers on social media about the arrest, stating that he sustained injuries during the process.
Bobrisky wrote, “Nigerians, help me, EFCC just arrested me. I’m badly injured.”
He was subsequently flown to the headquarters of the EFCC in Abuja, where he was interrogated on his bribery allegations against the commission.
