Nigerian social media personality and cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has filed a lawsuit against internet activist and influencer, VeryDarkMan, seeking N1 billion in damages.
The legal battle stems from VDM sharing a voice recording, which he alleged was that of Bobrisky claiming to have bribed officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) with N15 million to drop the money laundering charge against him.
Bobrisky, however, has denied the claims, stating that the voice recordings purportedly implicating him in any wrongdoing were artificially generated using AI technology.
Sharing a letter from her lawyers via her social media account, Bobrisky sued VDM for N1 billion as damages and gave him 24 hours to publish a written and video recording apology.
VeryDarkMan had shared the voice note on Tuesday, claiming it was Bobrisky’s confession to paying EFCC operatives to drop the money laundering charges. The EFCC has invited both Bobrisky and VeryDarkMan for questioning as part of an investigation.
In response, Bobrisky took to Instagram to refute the claims, calling the viral recording “fake” and insisting that she did not pay any money to the EFCC and had served her full term in prison.
The crossdresser was released from prison on August 5, 2024, after serving a six-month sentence handed down in April for charges related to the abuse of the Nigerian naira.
