Martins Vincent Otse, the Nigerian activist and social media figure known as VeryDarkMan, has revealed why he will not accept an invitation from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, citing an allegation of corruption levied against agency staff.
In a video, VeryDarkMan aired an audio clip belonging to social media personality Bobrisky, in which the latter stated that he was asked to pay N15 million to have a money laundering case dropped against him.
In response, the EFCC issued a letter inviting VeryDarkMan and Bobrisky to its Lagos office to “assist investigators unearth the alleged bribery.”
But Otse, on Wednesday, said he won’t be honouring the invite to Lagos because he does not reside there and was not sure of his fate if he goes. He, instead, asked the anti-graft agency to invite them to their office in Abuja.
In the video Vanguard saw on X, formerly Twitter, he accused the EFCC of not ensuring that Bobrisky was committed to prison and remained there.
He said, “Before you (EFCC) invite someone like me, do a deep investigation on your officers first. You can invite me when you get the result from your officers who handled Bobrisky’s file.
“You are telling me to come to Lagos and the headquarters of EFCC is in Abuja, it makes no sense. You should, instead, invite Bobrisky to Abuja and do your investigation.
Lastly, why I would not go to Lagos is that I don’t have N15 million to pay for anything. I don’t have any godfather anywhere and I don’t want to be framed. I don’t trust you and I won’t go (to Lagos).” He concluded.
