Nigerian social media personality, Bobrisky, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for allegedly refusing to honor an invitation to name officials he purportedly bribed. This development comes after Bobrisky’s recent release from prison on August 5, 2024, following a six-month sentence for naira abuse.
The EFCC’s move is seen as a significant step in tackling corruption and ensuring accountability. However, details of the alleged bribery and the officials involved remain scarce.
Bobrisky’s Legal Troubles
This isn’t Bobrisky’s first brush with the law. In April 2024, he was sentenced to six months in prison for mutilating naira notes at a social event. The controversy surrounding his actions has sparked heated debates on social media.
Previous Charges:
- Naira Mutilation: Bobrisky was charged with tampering with N490,000 in naira notes during a social event.
- Bribery Allegations: The EFCC’s latest invitation pertains to allegations of bribery, though specifics remain unclear.
The EFCC’s actions have ignited conversations about the country’s stance on corruption and the influence of social media personalities.
