- Bobrisky’s Lawyer Claims Illness as House of Reps Probe Continues, stating he could not attend due to being ill.
- Bribery Allegations involve Bobrisky allegedly paying ₦15 million to avoid serving his prison sentence under normal conditions.
- VeryDarkMan’s Testimony reveals he refuses to testify without Bobrisky present, emphasizing fairness in the proceedings.
Newsypeople – Bobrisky, a prominent figure in Nigeria’s social media landscape, is currently facing scrutiny from the House of Representatives due to serious allegations involving bribery against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS).
The situation escalated when Bobrisky’s lawyer informed the investigative panel that the influencer was unable to attend due to illness. This absence has raised eyebrows, especially given the gravity of the accusations being investigated.
During a recent session of the House of Representatives, Bobrisky’s lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, addressed members of the panel to explain why his client failed to appear.
He stated that Bobrisky was “under the weather,” which prevented him from attending the hearing. This explanation comes amid ongoing investigations into claims made by VeryDarkMan, a fellow social media influencer, who alleged that Bobrisky had paid a substantial bribe—₦15 million—to secure favorable treatment during his incarceration.
The allegations stem from a voice recording in which Bobrisky purportedly discussed arrangements made by his associates for him to serve his prison sentence outside of standard conditions.

This revelation has not only put Bobrisky in a precarious position but also implicated various officials within Nigeria’s law enforcement agencies. The panel’s inquiry aims to clarify these serious allegations and assess their implications for those involved.
In a related development, VeryDarkMan appeared before the investigative committee but expressed reluctance to testify without Bobrisky present.
He emphasized that it would be inappropriate for him to provide testimony regarding allegations made by someone who was not there to defend themselves. His insistence on Bobrisky’s presence highlights the complexities surrounding this case and raises questions about accountability and transparency in such investigations.
The committee members attempted to persuade VeryDarkMan to share his insights, assuring him that Bobrisky would eventually face questioning as well. This situation illustrates the intricate web of relationships and accusations that characterize this ongoing investigation.
