EFCC should be ashamed of themselves – Prof Odinkalu reacts over Bobrisky arrest
By Francesca Hangeior
Prof. Chidi Anselm Odinkalu, a Nigerian human rights activist and lawyer, replied to the announcement made by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that crossdresser Idris Okuneye, better known by his stage name Bobrisky, had been taken into custody.
The announcement was posted on Thursday on the EFCC’s official Twitter account.
Bobrisky was reportedly declared wanted after a video emerged of him spraying and parading rolls of new naira notes at a movie premiere, according to the EFCC’s statement on Facebook.
On their page, EFCC wrote: “The EFCC had invited the 31-year-old following a video report of spraying and flaunting wads of new Naira notes at the premiere of a movie.”
“The investigation also revealed that he had also committed the alleged offense at some other event centers and parties at different times.”
However, Professor Chidi Anselm Odinkalu has recently addressed the report. He claimed that the EFCC should be ashamed of itself in a tweet that he sent on his official Twitter account.
He asserted that it is not appropriate to use the power of arrest and indictment as a tool to oppress those who are unnecessary.
On his page, he wrote, “The EFCC should be ashamed of themselves. The power of arrest and prosecution is a public trust that should not be weaponized for the persecution of those whom they don’t like. It is either EFCC is evidently idle or this is a clear abuse of power.”
The 17th Headies Awards paid a tribute to the late Afrobeat singer Mohbad, celebrating his life, music and lasting impact on fans.
A video montage featuring his music videos accompanied a narrative that highlighted his journey and influence.
The emotional tribute described Mohbad as a star whose spirit and voice would never be forgotten, noting that his music was more than just sound, it was a movement.
The tribute reads in part: “Some voices are too powerful to be forgotten, some spirits shine so bright they leave a mark that cannot be erased. Mohbad was one of those stars. From the streets of Lagos to the heart of millions, Mohbad’s music was more than sound; it was a movement… Rest in peace, Mohbad, your light will never fade.”
Mohbad was also posthumously awarded the ‘Best Street-hop Artist’ with his song ‘Ask About Me’.
The award was accepted on his behalf by members of his family, including, his wife Wunmi, son, Liam and younger brother Adura.
