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

In his suit, Bobrisky sought ₦200 million in damages from the EFCC for alleged psychotic trauma and an additional ₦1 billion from the National Assembly for purported violations of his right to a fair hearing.

He also requested the court to bar the EFCC and the National Assembly from harassing, detaining, or declaring him wanted.

The case stems from allegations made by social media influencer Martins Otse, who leaked an audio recording claiming Bobrisky paid the EFCC ₦15 million to have money laundering charges against him dropped. Bobrisky has since denied the allegations.

Delivering judgment, Justice Alexander Owoeye ruled that Bobrisky failed to substantiate his claims of fundamental rights violations with credible evidence.

“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 judge stated.

Justice Owoeye also concluded that the claims against the EFCC and the National Assembly lacked merit. “The Applicant’s claims against the 1st and 2nd Respondents lack merit and are accordingly dismissed,” the ruling read.

The judge further declined to award damages against the EFCC, stating that there was no sufficient basis for such a decision.
