A former media aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, has described the National Assembly’s investigative hearing into the saga between two social media influencers as unnecessary.
Ahmad said Nigeria has real national issues of importance that the National Assembly should attend to and not the saga between crossdresser, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky, and Martins Ortse, also known as VeryDarkMan.
Posting on X, Ahmad wrote: “Forming a National Assembly committee to investigate the VDM and Bobrisky saga is completely unnecessary.
“Nigeria is currently grappling with far more pressing challenges, and this issue holds no real national importance, at all.”
VeryDarkMan had released an audio of Bobrisky claiming to have bribed some officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, with N15 million.
In the audio, the crossdresser claimed that the money was meant to drop money laundering charges against him.
Bobrisky also disclosed that his ‘godfather’ ensured he never spent his six months jail term in Kirikiri prison.
The revelation made by VeryDarkMan led to an investigative hearing by the House of Representatives on Monday.
While VeryDarkMan appeared before the committee, Bobrisky sent his lawyer in his absence.
During the hearing, both the EFCC and Nigeria Correctional Service, NCoS, denied any wrong doings.
