Bobrisky: Finally VDM opens up before lawmakers with iron cast evidence
Controversial Nigerian blogger, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan has now testified before the House of Representatives panel investigating bribery allegations against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) on Monday.
Earlier he had vowed not to say anything because crossdresser, Bobrisky was absent.
He finally addressed the panel after persuasions from his legal counsel, Deji Adeyanju.
Narrating how he got hold of the leaked audio, Very Dark Man said:
“Now, in the video I posted online, I explained everything. For the people that saw the video, it was well detailed and well explained. How I got hold of that recording is as a result of Bobrisky blackmailing somebody who owes money.
“So, according to the story and the evidence, that’s a proof of chat that was sent to me. The person who borrowed Bobrisky, 4 million Naira, when he was in the EFCC detention or rather in the private apartment lodge. The person gave him the money on the 19th of June 2024. 4 million Naira. It was transferred to this account number, 0496-411-279. Abiola Okuneye.
“And as you know, Bobrisky name is Okuneye. So, apparently, it’s his brother’s account. So, when it was time to get the money back, according to the story that he told me and the evidence I saw, he told Bobrisky whether he wanted the money to complete his building in Lagos.
“So, that was why he borrowed the money. It was now time to pay. From the receipt that I have here, he sent him a message. Bobrisky refused to respond. Sent him another one after like a few days. Bobrisky also refused to respond.
” When Bobrisky eventually responded, Bobrisky said, “I’m going to give you the money in, I think, September.”
“So, September 1st, the guy reached out to Bobrisky again. Obriski refused. And the next thing that followed was blackmailing. He said, “I will tell them that you are smooching me and you are kissing me. So the guy felt very, very somehow because he felt like he was not going to get his money. “
“God so kind, there’s Very Dark man that has the platform to call out the people that owe money and he will pay them. So a friend of mine who is very popular contacted me and he said, See what’s going on? And I said, okay, no problem. If you have receipts send it then when he sent it. Now say something here, when he sent it. Immediately I made a video, my first video and I said, Bobrisky I’m giving you four hours to pay back.
“Then he started begging the guy, now what am I going to say that my lawyer doesn’t even know. Now he started begging the guy. Then he paid.
“Immediately he paid. But when I listened to the audio, I said, nah, even though you pay, this has to go out there because Bobrisky cannot go around harassing some boys, young boys, and somebody with a godfather will be pulling stunts.
“I was detained in the prison. My very good friend Seun Kuti was detained as well. A lot of boys are inside the prison. Bobrisky is not any way better than them. So I didn’t see any reason why I should keep the audio. I kept the receipt of his payment, which he paid that day. He paid that day, so immediately I got it, which was, on Tuesday, September 4th
“Then the chat acknowledging when he wants to, when he was disturbing the guy that he wants to refund immediately after he saw my video. And the chats where he blackmailed the guy. The charts also asking for the money.
He said, “Dear Bobrisky, this is a reminder for the return of the loan amount of 4 million Naira as agreed. The due date for the return is September 1st. This, September 1st, it was Bobrisky that gave him the date. Then he said, Can we use the attachment account details to send the refund? Then he sent his account number.
“So because he didn’t get it, he came to me. So I will read the part of the blackmail that made him… Because, yes, I would like to verify that the guy said he’s not gay. I don’t know. I don’t live with him. But I asked him.
“So this part, the guy went on saying things like, “I helped you when you needed help, when it’s time to pay me while I am stressing you, this is not fair, how will you pay me like this then?”
Bobrisky went on to say, “when you kiss me and smooch me. You didn’t give me any money. Are you mad? Did you give me any money? Are you mad? You’re visiting Nigeria and you kissed me in Lagos, did you give me anything? I didn’t ask you for money, no, because I am fucking okay. If not EFCC, you think I’m going to ask you for money?
“Does that mean it’s because of EFCC he’s asking for money? If not EFCC, do you think I’m going to ask you for money? You are typing all this message to someone, help you post flyers without collecting anything from him. Wow. Go ahead and call me out. I will respond to you on IG. You know I am shameless and I don’t care.
“You will get your money, I have your account. I don’t want to look like someone that is ungrateful. But threatening me that you give me 24 hours is the height of it. I am waiting for you to call me out. So apparently the guy told him he was going to tell me. So these are the evidences I am going to present for now.
“And additionally, after this, there’s a second one and there’s a third one”.
The Nigerian Air Force, NAF, has taken delivery of five new helicopters as the Federal Government steps up efforts to modernise the country’s airpower capabilities and strengthen military operations against security threats.
The platforms comprise three AW-109 Trekker B helicopters manufactured by Leonardo Helicopters of Italy and two H-125 helicopters manufactured by Airbus Helicopters.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air Force Headquarters, the NAF said the three AW-109s, which are part of 10 recently acquired by the Federal Government, were received in Lagos on September 15, 2026, while the remaining seven are expected to be delivered before the end of the year. The two H-125 helicopters had been delivered earlier.
The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, said the new helicopters would increase aircraft availability and improve the NAF’s ability to support ongoing military operations.
“The arrival of these five helicopters provides greater flexibility in the employment of airpower in support of ground troops in ongoing operations,” Aneke said.
He said the AW-109 Trekker B helicopters would enhance the NAF’s capabilities in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, close air support, armed escort, combat search and rescue, and other joint operations.
Aneke added that the H-125 helicopters would provide light helicopter support for various operational requirements.
The new platforms are undergoing post-delivery assembly and technical and crew-readiness processes ahead of their induction and operationalisation.
Aneke said the increased rotary-wing capacity would strengthen support for joint forces conducting operations against terrorism, kidnapping and banditry.
He said the NAF would also prioritise maintenance and logistics support to ensure the new aircraft remain available for operations.
The Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, has endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bid for a second term in office, declaring that there will be “no vacancy” in the Presidential Villa, Abuja for the next four or five years.
Oba Akiolu gave the support when the Director-General of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, led members of the council on a courtesy visit to his palace in Lagos on Monday.
The monarch urged politicians to approach the 2027 General Elections with responsibility and ensure that the electoral process is peaceful and serves the interests of Nigerians.
Oba Akiolu cautioned members of the campaign council against actions capable of undermining the peace and stability of the country, even as he urged them to uphold honesty and shun the Machiavellian principle that the end justifies the means.
Speaking, the Director-General of the Campaign Council, Yari, said the delegation was in Lagos to seek the monarch’s blessings, prayers and counsel as the council begins its nationwide campaign activities ahead of the 2027 polls.
Yari said the APC believed President Tinubu deserved a second term to consolidate his administration’s efforts in the areas of the economy, security and infrastructure.
The Campaign D-G, while acknowledging the economic difficulties facing Nigerians, appealed for continued support for the president, saying APC leaders from the North would work to secure strong backing for Tinubu’s re-election across the region.
Receiving the delegation, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, described the visit as significant, noting that the council had made the Oba’s palace one of its early stops following its engagement with the Sokoto Caliphate.
Governor Sanwo-Olu said the visit underscored Lagos’ strategic importance to Nigeria’s political process, describing the state as the country’s commercial and economic nerve centre as well as a major political hub.
The visit was attended by Lagos APC leaders, local government chairmen, members of the National Assembly, state lawmakers and other party stakeholders.
