The Vanguard Newspaper has taken to its official X (formerly Twitter) handle to announce that popular Nigerian social media influencer, Bobrisky, was notably absent during a House of Representatives session on Monday. The session was convened to address allegations involving Bobrisky and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
According to reports, the allegations stem from claims made by social media personality Verydarkman, who accused the EFCC of receiving bribes from Bobrisky in connection with ongoing investigations.
While representatives from the EFCC and other involved parties were present to face the allegations, Bobrisky’s legal team informed the House that their client was unable to attend due to health reasons. Bobrisky’s lawyer claimed that the influencer was unwell, but did not provide further details regarding the nature of the illness.
The session has sparked widespread public interest, with many eagerly awaiting further developments in what promises to be a highly contentious case. The allegations of bribery against a federal anti-corruption body, combined with Bobrisky’s high-profile status, have raised significant questions about transparency and accountability within the nation’s legal and financial watchdog institutions.
As the inquiry continues, all eyes remain on the House of Representatives to see how they handle the case, and whether Bobrisky will appear at a future hearing. Public reaction continues to build on social media, with many expressing anticipation for a swift and transparent resolution.
