A Federal High Court in Lagos State has dismissed a fundamental rights suit filed by crossdresser Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, also known as Bobrisky, against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Recall that Bobrisky had sought N200 million from the EFCC for psychotic trauma and demanded N1 billion from the National Assembly for the violation of his right to a fair hearing.

The crossdresser also asked the court to restrain the EFCC and the National Assembly from harassing, detaining, or declaring him wanted.

Bobrisky has been embroiled in controversy after social media influencer Martins Otse leaked an audio recording alleging that he paid the EFCC N15 million to drop money laundering charges against him.

Justice Alexander Owoeye, while delivering judgement on the case, held that Bobrisky’s claims of rights violations lacked merit and were unsupported by credible evidence.

The EFCC’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale, disclosed this in a statement on Friday.

“Having evaluated the evidence placed before this Court by the Applicant, it is evident that the Applicant has failed to provide credible evidence to justify the award of the declaratory and injunctive reliefs sought by him.

“The Applicant’s claims against the 1st and 2nd Respondents lack merit and are accordingly dismissed,” the judge ruled.

Justice Owoeye also refused to award damages against the EFCC.

Nigerian crossdresser Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, has filed a N1.2 billion lawsuit against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the National Assembly, accusing them of violating his fundamental rights.

Recall that Bobrisky has been in the eye of the storm since activist VeryDarkMan shared a purported audio conversation wherein he claimed to have paid some EFCC officials N15 million to drop money laundering charges against him.

Bobrisky was released on August 5, after he was sentenced to six months in prison on April 12 for abusing the naira.

In the purported recording, the crossdresser also claimed that his “godfather”, alongside Haliru Nababa, Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, NCoS, ensured he served the six-month sentence in a private apartment and not in prison.

Idris Okunneye, the popular Nigerian crossdresser, who is better known as Bobrisky, has stated that his ordeal with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission began after accepting the best dressed female award at the movie premiere of Nollywood actress, Eniola Ajao.

Naija News recalls that Bobrisky recently faced scrutiny over allegations that he paid for special treatment while serving a jail sentence for naira abuse. Viral audio suggested that he bribed officials of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) to secure preferential conditions in prison.

The EFCC arrested Bobrisky at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos State as he attempted to board a KLM flight bound for Amsterdam.

Bobrisky’s arrest quickly made waves online when he alerted followers, sharing that he had sustained injuries in the process, saying, “Nigerians, help me, EFCC just arrested me. I’m badly injured.”

He was subsequently transported to the EFCC headquarters in Abuja, where he faced questioning over allegations of bribing EFCC officers to drop previous money laundering charges.

In a post via his Instagram page, Bobrisky stated that he would never get involved in any price or award belonging to a female.

He wrote, “My problem started from when I collected best dressed female with N1 million price. For my life if I see award for best dressed female I go disappear from that location. Everyone know the truth that I am a baddie with class, you wanna compete with me? your mummy never, but when problem wan too much, I run”

Idris Okuneye, the controversial Nigerian crossdresser, who is popularly known as Bobrisky, has shared graphic photos of his injuries online.

The photos he shared were of injuries that he claims were inflicted on him during an encounter with officials from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The popular influencer posted the images on Instagram, showcasing visible bruises on his arm and leg, expressing frustration and pain over the alleged incident.

In a caption accompanying the photos, Bobrisky lamented, “Can’t get over what EFCC staff did to me.”

He went on to clarify that he is not a criminal making his distress over the incident even more pronounced.

“You did this to a soul who isn’t a criminal, a soul that haven’t done anything,” he stated in another post.

Bobrisky’s posts have sparked widespread reactions on social media, with fans and followers sharing messages of support and calling for accountability.
