Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has declined to elaborate on the allegations made by Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, against officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Correctional Services (NCS).
Bobrisky had accused the officials of demanding ₦15 million in bribes to allow him to serve his prison sentence in a VIP section of Kirikiri Medium Custodial Centre in Lagos.
During a briefing with the Investigating Committee, VDM expressed frustration, stating, “I don’t know why I will be here and the person who made these allegations is not here.”
He suggested that Bobrisky’s absence was due to influence from a “godfather,” mentioned in the voice note where the allegations first surfaced. VDM added, “You are already threatening me with arrest. If you detain me, I will stay in the cell. If Bobrisky is not here, I will not say anything. If I say anything, let me die.”
The committee members were urging VDM to speak, reassuring him that Bobrisky would also be required to face the panel and address the claims.
At the time of the report, discussions were ongoing to persuade VDM to provide his testimony.
