‘Go after them’: Deji Adeyanju calls for arrest of EFCC officials involved in Bobrisky bribe allegation  

Deji Adeyanju, a prominent Nigerian activist lawyer, is calling for severe action against the officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, implicated in the N15 million bribe allegation involving Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky.

Adeyanju demands that the officials be sacked and prosecuted to uphold the rule of law and combat corruption.

He commends the EFCC for investigating the claim with immediate effect, stressing that the move showcased the agency’s commitment to accountability.

The controversy surrounds Bobrisky’s allegation that he paid EFCC officials N15 million to drop money laundering charges. In a leaked audio, Bobrisky confessed that his unidentified godfather helped him avoid a six-month jail term in Kirikiri prison. However, Bobrisky later denied the allegations, labeling the audio as fake.

Commenting on the leaked tape, Adeyanju said: “I commend the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for swiftly committing to investigate the bribery allegations made by Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, against some EFCC officers.

“The allegations, which involve the collection of N15 million to drop money laundering charges, are serious and deserve thorough attention.

“The EFCC’s prompt response demonstrates its probable commitment to integrity and professionalism. I urge the Commission to ensure a thorough investigation and bring the perpetrators to book if found guilty.

“This will reinforce the public’s trust in the EFCC’s mandate to fight corruption.

“Transparency and accountability are essential in maintaining public confidence. I encourage the EFCC to keep the public informed about the investigation’s progress and findings.

“I believe this investigation is crucial in upholding the rule of law and combating corruption in Nigeria.”
