Controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has lost his 1.2bn lawsuit against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and the National Assembly.

Refreshing your memory, The Nigerian Voice recalls that VeryDarkMan released an audio recording of cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky on September 24, 2024. The recording alleged that Bobrisky paid the sum of 15 million Naira to officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for the money laundering charges to be dropped against him.

Furthermore, the recording suggested that Bobrisky did not spend his six-month prison term in prison, but in an apartment close to the prison through the influence of his godfather and the controller general of prison.

In addition, the leaked recording by VeryDarkMan also alleged that Falz and his father, Femi Falana, SAN, collected the sum of 10 million Naira to get Bobrisky a soft landing on his prison sentence and also get him a presidential pardon

The 15 million saga saw Bobrisky and VeryDarkMan appear before the National Assembly, who probed into the allegations levelled against the cross-dresser.

Surprisingly, Bobrisky filed a 1.2bn lawsuit against the EFCC and the National Assembly, for allegedly violating his fundamental rights.

Bobrisky, in the lawsuit, charged the EFCC with the sum of N200 million for the trauma he went through, while the National Assembly was charged with the sum of N1billion

In a new development, Bobrisky's lawsuit against the EFCC and the National Assembly, has been dismissed by a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos State.

The judge in charge of the case, Justice Alexander Owoeye, labelled Bobrisky's claim of violations of his rights as lacking credible evidence, and dismissed it.

In addition, the EFCC’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale, shed more light on the court's judgement:

“Having evaluated the evidence placed before this Court by the Applicant, it is evident that the Applicant has failed to provide credible evidence to justify the award of the declaratory and injunctive reliefs sought by him.

I hold that the claims of violation of fundamental rights against the 1st and 2nd Respondents were not made out of the affidavit evidence placed before this Court.

“The Applicant’s claims against the 1st and 2nd Respondents lack merit and are accordingly dismissed.
