In a recently released voice note, controversial cross-dresser Idris Olanrewaju Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, revealed that he paid N5 million upfront to a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) in hopes of securing a Federal Government pardon for money laundering charges brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In the recording, Bobrisky stated that the SAN initially demanded N10 million but he could only raise N5 million due to his account being frozen by the EFCC.
This information was shared in a video posted by well-known social media influencer Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, on Monday, October 7, 2024. According to Otse, the call was recorded on May 16, 2024.
Bobrisky mentioned that his godfather assisted him by paying the initial N5 million.
However, he felt unable to ask for additional help since his godfather had already arranged for him to stay in a well-furnished apartment near the prison.
He also took the opportunity to clarify that he was not in prison, as many had speculated.
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.”
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.”
This 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 alleged that her godfather, along with the Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional arranged for him to serve her six-month sentence in a private apartment rather than in prison.
He also alleged that human rights lawyer Femi Falana sought a presidential pardon for Bobrisky in exchange for ₦10 million.
Meanwhile, some hours after the recording was released, Bobrisky took to his Instagram account to make a jocular remark.
He wrote, “Nurse Titi your patient is out again,” accompanied with laughing emojis.
