Martins Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan, and Bobrisky, the crossdresser whose birth name is Idris Okuneye, will testify before the house of representatives joint committee on financial crimes and reformatory institutions today.
Ola Olukoyode, chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and Haliru Nababa, controller-general of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), are also expected to appear before the committee.
BACKGROUND
On Thursday, the lower legislative chamber resolved to probe a bribery allegation against the anti-graft agency and the NCoS.
The house passed the resolution following the adoption of a motion sponsored by Patrick Umoh, an All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmaker from Akwa Ibom.
VeryDarkMan had shared an audio of Bobrisky claiming she bribed some EFCC officials with N15 million to drop the money laundering charge against her.
Bobrisky was released on August 5, after she was sentenced to six months in prison on April 12 for abusing the naira.
In the purported recording, the crossdresser also claimed that her “godfather”, alongside Nababa, ensured she served the six-month sentence in a private apartment and not in prison.
