Martins Otse, popularly addressed as VeryDarkMan, has arrived at the national assembly, News About Nigeria reports.
VeryDarkMan will appear before the House of Representatives joint committee on financial irregularities and reform.
The hearing will investigate bribery allegations against EFCC officials, Haliru Nababa, and the Nigerian Correctional Service.
VeryDarkMan, dressed in ancestral wear, entered the National Assembly chamber accompanied by his attorney, Deji Adeyanju.
However, the EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyode, delegated his chief of staff, Michael Nzekwe, to attend the hearing.
Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) head Haliru Nababa is present—Idris Okuneye, known as Bobrisky, hasn’t arrived, but her attorney, Avwerosuoghene Omuvwie, is already seated.
Recall that on Thursday, the lower legislative chamber resolved to probe a bribery allegation against the anti-graft agency and the NCoS.
The house passed the resolution following the adoption of a motion sponsored by Patrick Umoh, an All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmaker from Akwa Ibom.
VeryDarkMan had shared an audio of Bobrisky claiming she bribed some EFCC officials with N15 million to drop the money laundering charge against her.
Bobrisky was released on August 5, after she was sentenced to six months in prison on April 12 for abusing the naira.
In the purported recording, the crossdresser also claimed that her “godfather”, alongside Nababa, ensured she served the six-month sentence in a private apartment and not in prison.
Bobrisky would later deny the bribery claim, arguing that the recording was “fake”.
The crossdresser’s denial came after the EFCC invited her and VeryDarkMan over the allegations.
Also, the joint committee had asked Olukoyode and Nababa to appear on Monday with all officers involved in the allegation
