The bribery allegations arose from a viral social media voice recording involving Idris Okuneye, a crossdresser known as Bobrisky, who was sentenced earlier this year to six months in prison for abusing the naira.
The recording suggested that Bobrisky allegedly paid N15 million to the EFCC to drop money laundering charges and that he served time in a VIP facility rather than a standard prison.
The House Committee has also extended invitations to Bobrisky and social media influencer Martins Otse, known online as Very Dark Man, who released the voice recording.
