The house of representatives has resolved to probe the bribery allegations against the EFCC and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).

The lower legislative chamber passed the resolution during plenary on Thursday, following the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance sponsored by Patrick Umoh, an All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmaker from Akwa Ibom.

Martins Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan, had shared an audio of Bobrisky claiming she bribed some EFCC officials with N15 million to drop the money laundering charge against her.

The crossdresser, whose birth name is Idris Okuneye, 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 Haliru Nababa, the controller general of the NCoS, ensured she served the six-month sentence in a private apartment and not in prison. Bobrisky later denied the bribery claim, arguing that the recording was “fake”.
