The team of investigators is expected to work quickly to uncover the truth behind Bobrisky’s N15 million allegations. Both Bobrisky and Otse have been invited to appear at the Commission’s Lagos Directorate to assist with the investigation. Their cooperation is seen as crucial to unearthing the facts.
In response to the viral video, the EFCC stressed its commitment to transparency and ordered a prob.
