A Federal High Court in Lagos has dismissed a fundamental rights lawsuit filed by popular crossdresser Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, widely known as Bobrisky, against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Bobrisky had demanded N200 million for alleged psychotic trauma and N1 billion from the National Assembly, claiming violations of his right to a fair hearing. The crossdresser also sought a court order to prevent the EFCC and the National Assembly from harassing, detaining, or declaring him wanted.
The case stemmed from allegations by social media influencer Martins Otse, who leaked an audio recording claiming Bobrisky paid the EFCC N15 million to drop money laundering charges.
Delivering judgment, Justice Alexander Owoeye ruled that Bobrisky’s claims lacked merit due to insufficient evidence.
“After evaluating the evidence presented, it is clear that the Applicant failed to provide credible proof to justify the reliefs sought. The claims of rights violations against the EFCC and the National Assembly are baseless and unsupported by the affidavit evidence submitted,” the judge stated.
Justice Owoeye dismissed the lawsuit and declined to award any damages against the EFCC.
The EFCC’s spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, confirmed the ruling in a statement released on Friday.
This decision marks another chapter in the controversies surrounding Bobrisky, whose legal battles and public persona continue to draw attention across Nigeria.
