He said the publication alleged the EFCC dropped money laundry charges against Idris Okuneye (also known as Bobrisky) after collecting N15m.
On Thursday, the House of Representatives decided to investigate the allegations against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigeria Correctional Services regarding the prosecution and imprisonment of popular crossdresser Bobrisky.
The resolution followed a motion of urgent public importance by Hon. Patrick Umoh (APC, Akwa Ibom).
He recalled the disturbing and widely circulated publication from Martins Vincent Otse (also known as VeryDarkMan) against critical Nigerian law enforcement institutions like the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Correctional Service.
He said the publication alleged the EFCC dropped money laundry charges against Idris Okuneye (also known as Bobrisky) after collecting N15m.
He said further the publication alleged that the Idris Okuneye, upon conviction for abuse and defacing of the Naira, by the court did not serve his time at the Nigeria Correctional Service but was lodged outside the confines of the Service.
He expressed concern about the negative image and portrayal of Nigeria as a corrupt nation.
