The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has urgently called on the EFCC to investigate serious allegations that some of its officers received ₦15 million from Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky.

This comes in light of allegations that a convict paid a bribe to serve his prison sentence in a private residence rather than in a correctional facility.

However, there are claims that a bribe was demanded in exchange for a government pardon.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Mazi Afam Osigwe (SAN), President of the NBA, emphasized the need for a thorough & independent inquiry involving the Attorney General of the Federation & the Office of the National Security Adviser.

The NBA addressed the reputation of Femi Falana (SAN) known for his integrity and commitment to human rights.

The NBA urged the public to avoid jumping to conclusions regarding his or anyone else’s alleged participation in these matters, stressing the importance of maintaining the integrity of the legal profession during this investigation.
