House of Representatives on Thursday resolved to probe the allegations against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Nigeria Correctional Services over the recent prosecution and imprisonment of popular cross dresser Bobrisky.
The resolution followed a motion of urgent public importance by Hon. Patrick Umoh (APC, Akwa Ibom).
He recalled the disturbing and widely circulated publication from Martins Vincent Otse (also known as VeryDarkMan) against the anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Correctional Service.
The lawmaker said the publication accused the EFCC of dropping money laundry charges against Idris Okuneye (also known as Bobrisky) after collecting N15m.
He said the publication further alleged that Idris Okuneye, upon conviction for abuse and defacing of the Naira, by the court did not serve his time at the Nigeria Correctional Service but was lodged outside the confines of the Service.
He expressed concern about the negative image and portrayal of Nigeria by the development as a corrupt nation.
