The current status of Bobrisky’s detention, including any potential bail, remains unknown.
Bobrisky, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) are under investigation by a house of representatives committee over bribery allegations.
Her ordeal started after VeryDarkMan shared a purported audio conversation wherein the crossdresser claimed that she paid some EFCC officials N15 million to drop money laundering charges against her.
In the recording, she also claimed that she spent her six-month jail term in an apartment rather than Kirikiri prison due to the influence of “my godfather”.

The self-proclaimed transgender later described the viral recording as “fake” and threatened to sue VeryDarkMan for alleged defamation.
An investigative panel recently revealed there was no evidence that Bobrisky slept outside the prison during her six-month jail term.

THE AFROBEATS BLASPHEMY: Tekno Stuns Fans By Rejecting Fela Anikulapo-Kuti As The Genre’s Originator!.
Nigerian singer Augustine Miles Kelechi, widely known as Tekno, has sparked debate during a New York interview with Hot 97 FM by contesting the long-standing belief that Fela Anikulapo-Kuti is the sole creator of Afrobeats.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
While acknowledging Fela as a legend who successfully took the genre international and inspired his own track “Rara,” Tekno argued that many pioneering musicians from eastern Nigeria—such as the late highlife icon Oliver De Coque—deserve equal credit for shaping the sound. He noted that because Fela extensively toured the world with his band, he received the lion’s share of historical recognition, whereas eastern legends who created timeless music remain largely unacknowledged today.
Expressing that highlife is part of the Afrobeats lineage, Tekno emphasized:
“Fela is not the originator of Afrobeats. Lagos people and the Yorubas might say he is the one, but I am from the East, and we had legends like Oliver De Coque. Oliver De Coque made pure highlife music. Highlife is also Afrobeats.”
Ultimately, the singer maintains that musical history should not overlook the diverse group of unsung legends across different regions who laid the foundation for the genre.

THE ULTIMATE CHILDHOOD HEARTBREAK: Legendary Transformers Voice Actor Peter Cullen Dead At 85!.
Peter Cullen, the iconic voice actor universally celebrated for bringing Optimus Prime to life, has passed away at his Los Angeles home at the age of 85. His agent, Kevin Motley, confirmed his passing to the Los Angeles Times on Thursday, noting that he died on Wednesday. In a statement, his family shared that he departed peacefully surrounded by loved ones, encouraging fans to honor his memory through community service, compassion, and his famous personal creed to “be strong enough to be gentle”.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Born in Montreal on July 28, 1941, to American parents, Cullen graduated from the National Theatre School of Canada in 1963 before cutting his teeth on Shakespearean performances in Stratford and acting at Toronto’s Crest Theatre. Over a prolific career spanning television, film, video games, and theme parks, he voiced a diverse array of memorable characters, including the giant ape in the 1976 King Kong remake, the villainous vehicle KARR in Knight Rider, and the alien hunter in the original Predator movie.
However, Cullen left an indelible mark on animation and children’s media during the 1980s and 1990s. He originated the definitive voice of Optimus Prime in the original “Generation 1” series and The Transformers: The Movie (1986), a role he triumphantly reprised when the franchise shifted to live-action under Michael Bay in 2007, continuing through subsequent sequels up to Bumblebee (2018) and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023). Beyond the Autobot leader, generations of children also knew him as the voice of Eeyore in Disney’s Winnie the Pooh franchise, a role he inhabited across multiple series and films starting in the late 1980s.
Recognized for his immense contributions to the industry, Cullen earned a Daytime Emmy nomination in 2011 for Transformers: Prime and received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Children’s and Family Emmy Awards in 2023. According to the Associated Press, he is survived by his four children: Angus, Claire, Pilar, and Clay.
