Bobrisky Slams EFCC Amid Officer’s Fatal Shooting in Anambra Operation
Nigerian transgender media personality Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju has taken to social media to criticize the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) following the tragic death of one of its officers, Aminu Salisu.

The Assistant Superintendent of Officer (ASO) was killed during an operation in Anambra State.

Bobrisky, who recently faced police charges for the abuse of banknotes, expressed his disdain for the EFCC, calling them “the most wicked people in Nigeria.”

He recounted his past experiences on how he was arrested and suspected of doing fraud.

He also spoke on the incident when, during his own ordeal with the police, the EFCC had requested Papaya’s phone number and how he had refused.

He wrote:

“Even though I’m not talking to her, I won’t be heartless enough to set her up like that, because I wasn’t trained to be a snitch.”
