‘How I got audio recording of Bobrisky’ — VeryDarkMan opens up

VeryDarkMan has finally opened up on how he got hold of the controversial audio recording allegedly attributed to Bobrisky.

The activist testified on Monday before the house of representatives joint committee on financial crimes and reformatory institutions over bribery allegations against officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and Haliru Nababa, controller-general of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).

VeryDarkMan had initially refused to address the committee in the absence of Bobrisky until Deji Adeyanju, his lawyer, prevailed on the matter.

Addressing the committee, the activist revealed that he received the viral audio record from someone to whom Bobrisky owed money.

 “How I got hold of that recording is as a result of Bobrisky blackmailing somebody he owes money. According to the story and evidence of proof of chat that was sent to me,” he said.

“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 the 19th of June, 2024.”

Although he did not mention names, the social media celebrity also submitted part of the recording to the committee.

VeryDarkMan had previously shared an audio in which Bobrisky purportedly claimed that she bribed some EFCC officials with N15 million to drop the money laundering charge against her.

The crossdresser also claimed that after her sentencing for naira abuse in April, her “godfather” and the CG of NCoS arranged for her to serve the six-month jail term in a private apartment.

On Thursday, the lower legislative chamber resolved to probe the allegations against the anti-graft agency and the NCoS.
