Bobrisky Reacts to Claims of Paying EFCC ₦15m to Drop Charges
EKO HOT BLOG reports that the accusation came to light on Tuesday after influencer Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, shared a voice recording in which Bobrisky allegedly admitted to bribing EFCC operatives.
The recording suggested that Bobrisky used the bribe to avoid prison time following his six-month conviction for naira mutilation in April 2024, claiming he served his sentence in a private lodge instead of a prison.

In response, Bobrisky took to Instagram to refute the claims, stating: “I didn’t pay any EFCC money; it is a very big lie. I served my term in full and I came out. Discard any false information.”
Following the allegations, EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede has ordered an investigation into the matter.
