Controversial social media critic, Martin Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has responded to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s invitation after he accused some of its personnel of bribery.
In a video shared on his Instagram page on Wednesday, VeryDarkMan urged the EFCC to focus on investigating its officers before summoning him over allegations against them.
He stated, “The EFCC’s press release didn’t even address the core issue. Why didn’t they confirm that Bobrisky was in their custody?
“Bobrisky is the suspect, and the EFCC should have verified that. If the person who released the statement couldn’t confirm Bobrisky’s detention, there’s a problem.”
He further challenged the commission, saying, “Before inviting someone like me, you should first conduct a thorough investigation of your officers, especially those involved in Bobrisky’s case.
“Examine their accounts and actions. Only after that can you invite me, Martin Otse, aka VeryDarkMan.”
VeryDarkMan also expressed distrust in the EFCC, stating that he would not honour their invitation unless the case is handled at their Abuja headquarters.
“You’re asking me to come to Lagos when the EFCC headquarters is in Abuja—it doesn’t make sense. I suggest you invite Bobrisky to Abuja for the investigation.
“Besides, I don’t have N15 million to settle anything, and I don’t have a godfather. I don’t trust you, and you could easily set me up. Investigate your officers first, then talk to me,” he said.
He added jokingly that if he were to consider going, the EFCC would need to book him a first-class flight and five-star accommodation.
“Even if I want to come you have to book me a first-class ticket and a five-star hotel. You can send me an invitation to come with my money, no be me collect N15 million now,” he added.
His response follows an invitation from the EFCC to him to assist in the investigation after VeryDarkMan shared a call recording in which cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, alleged that unnamed EFCC officials took N15 million from him to drop money laundering charges.
