A Federal High Court in Lagos has dismissed a fundamental rights lawsuit filed by Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, popularly known as Bobrisky, against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

In the suit, Bobrisky demanded N200 million from the EFCC for “psychotic trauma” and sought N1 billion in damages from the National Assembly, alleging a violation of his right to a fair hearing. He also requested an injunction to prevent the EFCC and the National Assembly from “harassing, detaining, or declaring him wanted.”

The case gained attention after social media influencer Martins Otse leaked an audio recording claiming that Bobrisky paid N15 million to the EFCC to drop money laundering charges against him.

Delivering judgment on November 28, Justice Alexander Owoeye ruled that Bobrisky’s claims lacked merit and were unsupported by credible evidence.

The EFCC’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale, confirmed the ruling in a statement released on Friday. Justice Owoeye stated, “Having evaluated the evidence placed before this Court by the Applicant, it is evident that the Applicant has failed to provide credible evidence to justify the award of the declaratory and injunctive reliefs sought by him.”

The court further held that Bobrisky’s claims of fundamental rights violations against the EFCC and the National Assembly were unsubstantiated. Consequently, the lawsuit was dismissed, and no damages were awarded against the EFCC.

Justice Owoeye concluded, “The Applicant’s claims against the 1st and 2nd Respondents lack merit and are accordingly dismissed.”
