Controversial crossdresser Bobrisky has stated in a newly released voice note that he paid N5 million upfront to a Senior Advocate of Nigeria to obtain a Federal Government pardon for money laundering charges brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Bobrisky claimed the SAN requested N10 million, but he was unable to raise the entire sum since the EFCC had frozen his account.
This was revealed in a video broadcast by famous social media influencer Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, on Monday, October 7, 20204.
The call was recorded on May 16, 2024, according to VDM and Bobrisky revealed that his godfather came to his aid by giving the initial N5 million.
However, he was unable to request any financial support because his godfather had already arranged for him to live in a well-furnished apartment near the prison.
Bobrisky also clarified that he was not imprisoned, as popularly assumed.
He admitted, “Truth be told, I won’t lie to you, you’re my person. I’m not in prison, but I’m around there. They got me an apartment because of my godfather. My godfather was able to say, ‘Never, you will not smell that prison.’ Let the world think that, but you will never.’
“So, he was able to talk to the Deputy Controller in Nigeria and he said that as long as Bob is not posting or saying anything, they can put me close to the place so I can always come inside and see people, and welcome my family. Nobody needs to know.”...Read Full Article [Click Here>]
Bobrisky explained that they were trying to secure a pardon to expedite his release.
“I’m supposed to finish my sentence by July, but if we get the amnesty, I could leave by the first week of next month. The SAN asked for N10 million, which I could have transferred, but my account is frozen. My godfather gave me N5 million and we sent it to the SAN two weeks ago. He has already submitted the pardon request.”
Bobrisky further disclosed that his godfather arranged the living situation with the help of the Deputy Controller of the Nigerian Correctional Service.
He stated, “They were worried about putting me in a male facility due to the risk of harassment, so they arranged for me to stay nearby, as long as I don’t post or say anything.”
The revelation followed an earlier claim by Bobrisky that EFCC operatives demanded and received N15 million to drop the money laundering charges against him.
The crossdresser said that his godfather and the Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service arranged for him to spend her six-month sentence in a private residence rather than a jail.
