The well-known socialite Bobrisky accuses the National Assembly and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of violating his fundamental rights and files a N1.2 billion lawsuit against them.
As you may recall, Bobrisky has been in the center of controversy ever since activist Verydarkman made public an alleged audio recording in which Bobrisky stated that he had paid N15 million to EFCC officials in order to have the money laundering charges against him dropped.
On April 12, Bobrisky was found guilty of naira abuse and sentenced to six months in prison; he was released on August 5.
It was later claimed that he never completed his jail sentence after being released.
The National Assembly had summoned Verydarkman, who had made the claim, and Bobrisky to appear before them.
On Saturday, Bobrisky posted on Instagram a court order from October 10, which barred the EFCC and National Assembly from harassing, detaining, or declaring him wanted.
He claimed in the lawsuit that the EFCC had asked him to testify after publishing a rumored WhatsApp call by VeryDarkMan without first confirming the veracity of the recording. He claimed that this resulted in threats from unknown people, online derision, and a privacy invasion.
The crossdresser is requesting N1 billion from the National Assembly for violating his right to a fair trial and N200 million from the EFCC for emotional distress.
Bobrisky captioned …
“Notwithstanding the earlier filing of this fundamental rights matter the EFCC @officialefcc still violently assaulted and harassed me and pulled me out of a plane ✈️ set for takeoff 🛫. The EFCC and other security agencies in Nigeria 🇳🇬 are violators of human rights and it is high time the world 🌎 and the international community gets to know about their trademark of violation of freedom and rights. Without any order of court the minister of interior ordered the Nigeria 🇳🇬 Immigration Service and the Nigeria 🇳🇬 Police to arrest and detain me which lead to my worsening illnesses, then again the EFCC arrested and took me from their Lagos office to Abuja notwithstanding the pendency of this suit. It is a shame that the EFCC does not respect the court neither does any security agencies they act above the law which they claim to protect and implement.”
