VeryDarkMan mocks EFCC: Probe your officers, I don’t have N15m bribe

Social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has lashed out at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over his summon by the EFCC on bribery allegations preferred against the operatives of the anti-graft agency.

VeryDarkMan had shared a video showing popular cross-dresser, Okuneye fondly called Bobrisky, alleging that some officers of the EFCC collected N15 million from him (Bobrisky) to drop money laundering charges against him.

Speaking on the allegations via a statement on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, the EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale, said the Chairman of the anti-graft agency, Ola Olukoyede, had constituted a team of investigators to critically look into the allegations.

“To this end, the Commission hereby invites both Okuneye and Otse to make themselves available at its Lagos Directorate to assist investigators unearth the alleged bribery,” Oyewale added.

Responding to his invitation by the commission, VeryDarkMan urged the EFCC to probe its officers before summoning him over allegations against them.

VeryDarkMan, in a video shared on his Instagram page on Wednesday, said: “Before inviting someone like me, you should first conduct a thorough investigation of your officers, especially those involved in Bobrisky’s case.

“Examine their accounts and actions. Only after that can you invite me, Martin Otse, aka VeryDarkMan.

“You’re asking me to come to Lagos when the EFCC headquarters is in Abuja. It doesn’t make sense. I suggest you invite Bobrisky to Abuja for the investigation.

“Besides, I don’t have N15 million to settle anything, and I don’t have a godfather. I don’t trust you, and you could easily set me up. Investigate your officers first, then talk to me.

“Even if I want to come you have to book me a first-class ticket and a five-star hotel. You can send me an invitation to come with my money, no be me collect N15 million now.”
