Bobrisky’s lawyer informed the House of Representatives panel investigating a N15 million bribery probe that Bobrisky was absent due to illness. This sparked humorous reactions across social media, with VeryDarkMan refusing to testify without Bobrisky present. The hearing centers on bribery allegations against EFCC and Correctional Service officials.
During the ongoing N15 million bribery probe involving cross-dresser Bobrisky and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Bobrisky's lawyer informed the House of Representatives that his client, Idris Okuneye (Bobrisky), was absent due to illness. The House of Representatives panel, which is investigating bribery allegations within the EFCC and Nigerian Correctional Services, summoned Bobrisky alongside other key figures.
However, Bobrisky’s absence sparked reactions both within the assembly and across social media. Many online commentators expressed skepticism, with one user humorously stating, “Sick offline, but online Bobrisky is very sound!” Another remarked, “Makeup artist never reach him side, na why!” Social media users found humor in the situation, poking fun at Bobrisky's lawyer's explanation, with one commenting, “He’s on her period.” Despite the seriousness of the proceedings, reactions to Bobrisky's absence provided comic relief. While some pointed out the absurdity of the excuses, others criticized the entire investigation process, expressing frustration with the state of governance in Nigeria.
In a viral moment, VeryDarkMan, another individual summoned, refused to testify due to Bobrisky’s absence, stating, "Let me die if I say anything." This further fueled the online conversation, where users continued to express disbelief and amusement.
