“EFCC are the most wicked people,” Bobrisky lashes out

PREMIUM TIMES

Since the controversial crossdresser Idris ‘Bobrisky’ Okuneye fled Nigeria in November after several failed attempts, he hasn’t ceased to comment on national issues, especially when it has to do with the EFCC.

Recall that Bobrisky’s trouble-filled year began on 25 March 2024 when videos of him spraying naira notes at a high-profile event surfaced online.

In October, PREMIUM TIMES reported that Bobrisky faced two arrests— the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) and the EFCC while attempting to flee Nigeria amid his ongoing legal troubles.

And so when the EFCC announced the death of Aminu Salisu, an assistant superintendent of the commission, killed in Anambra during an operation to arrest some suspected internet fraudsters on 17 January, Bobrisky slammed the anti-graft agency in a lengthy social media rant.

Recounting his experience with the EFCC, Bobrisky had nothing nice to say. He alleged that they invaded his privacy and attempted to access his Instagram and WhatsApp conversations to no avail.

“I just don’t like reading anything about EFCC online because I want to throw up anytime I read about them. You are asking the public to be human about the loss of one of your staff, but you are the most wicked people in Nigeria. You searched my house, seized my phone for over a week, and went through my emails.
