“We apprehended him in Lagos, and he will be transported to Abuja,” the source disclosed. “He accused us of bribery and corruption, yet he repeatedly ignored our summons to substantiate these claims. Such serious allegations cannot be ignored. Furthermore, he has also declined to appear before the National Assembly on this matter. We had no option but to take him into custody to ensure he provides evidence to support his accusations.”

Dele Oyewale, Head of Media and Publicity at the EFCC, confirmed Bobrisky’s arrest but refrained from giving additional details.

In a recent Instagram post, Bobrisky alleged that EFCC officials had arrested him, adding that he sustained injuries during an altercation with immigration officers.

The EFCC previously warned that Bobrisky could face charges for providing false information if his allegations prove to be unsubstantiated.
