Bobrisky, the popular Nigerian social media influencer, is back in the news because he didn’t show up to a hearing that was supposed to happen. This has fans and critics alike wondering what happened. There were claims that Bobrisky, whose real name is Iris Okuneye, paid the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) N15 million to drop money laundering charges. The meeting took place at the National Assembly Complex to look into these claims. People all over the country were shocked by this serious accusation, and many were looking forward to seeing Bobrisky to hear his side of the story.
However, Bobrisky was noticeably missing on the day of the hearing, which raised questions and doubts about the truth of the accusations. Afterward, his lawyer, Barrister Samuel Chukwuma, spoke to the group and explained why his client wasn’t there. Barrister Chukwuma said that Bobrisky was medically unable to attend the meeting because of a sudden health problem. It was medical records that he showed the panel as proof of Bobrisky’s illness that kept him from showing up.
But Bobrisky’s absence hasn’t stopped critics from speaking out on social media, saying they don’t believe his claims that he is sick. Many people who don’t like Bobrisky think that this is just a way to delay the case or maybe even avoid facing the accusations at all. People have been talking a lot on social media sites, and many are questioning the validity of the medical records that Barrister Chukwuma gave. Some doubters say that this move could be an effort to buy more time or even avoid being held responsible, especially since the bribery claims are so serious.
Since Bobrisky is known for living a rich life and saying things that are often controversial, he has always been someone who gets a lot of attention. He is one of the most watched Nigerian celebrities on social media because he is brave and likes to live in style. But because he is so well-known, people are always looking closely at him, and they often say he does illegal things to pay for his expensive lifestyle. These claims that Bobrisky paid the EFCC N15 million are the latest in a long line of problems that have been linked to him over the years.
In his statement to the panel, Barrister Chukwuma made it clear that Bobrisky is ready to fully assist with the investigation and that his absence should not be seen as an attempt to avoid the hearing. He told the group that he would be there to answer all of their questions and clear his client’s name of any wrongdoing once his client got better. During this time, he also made it clear that the accusations against Bobrisky are false and that his client is determined to show that he is innocent.
The panel looked at the medical evidence that Bobrisky’s lawyer gave and decided to move the hearing to a later date so that the influencer could get better and attend in person. Some people thought this was the right thing to do to help Bobrisky’s health, while others saw it as another example of how Nigeria’s rich and famous can use the system to their own benefit. Although the new date hasn’t been released yet, it’s likely that Bobrisky’s eventual appearance will get a lot of media attention.
At this point, the EFCC has not said anything about the bribes claims. The agency has not confirmed or denied the reports because they are still looking into them. This has led to more rumours, and many people are wondering if the claims are true or if they are just another case of spreading false information to hurt Bobrisky’s reputation.
Bobrisky has also kept quiet about the situation by not directly responding to the claims on his social media accounts. People have different ideas about what this quiet means. Some see it as an admission of guilt, while his loyal fans see it as a respectful way to let the legal process go its course without any extra drama.
As people wait for the next part of this ongoing story, one thing is certain: Bobrisky will remain in the news, for better or worse, because of his power and reputation for being controversial. It’s still unclear if he will be able to clear his name of these charges, but the new hearing will definitely be something that a lot of Nigerians are very interested in. The argument over whether he is innocent or guilty will go on until then, thanks to both his supporters and detractors, as well as the media’s close attention to his every move.
