But before the charge was read to the defendant on April 05, EFCC’s prosecution counsel Suleiman Suleiman, prayed the court to strick out counts five and six (Money laundering charges).

“In a swift reaction, the EFCC’s boss has constituted a team of Investigators to critically look into the allegations. To this end, the Commission hereby invites both Okuneye and Otse to make themselves available at its Lagos Directorate to assist investigators unearth the alleged bribery.

“The EFCC wishes to assure the public that the allegations would be thoroughly investigated and the result of the findings made public accordingly.

“The Commission is committed to its core values of integrity, courage,  professionalism and collaboration at all times,” the statement added.

 

Meanwhile, Bobrisky has denied the allegations, claiming the audio was fake.

Okuneye on his Instagram page bobrisky222 wrote, “My attention has been drawn into a fake voice recording circulating on the internet that I paid EFCC N15m, and that I was never in prison…

“I didn’t pay any EFCC money. It is a very big lie. I served my term in full and I came out. Disregard any false information.”

Efforts to get the reaction of the Controller General of Corrections proves abortive as calls made to the spokesperson of NCoS, Umar Abubakar, were not connecting.

Also WhatsApp and text messages sent to his phone number were not replied as at the time of publishing this story.
