The Committee Members however insisted that Verydarkman return and answer questions and adopt his claims or else the parliament would invoke its power to detain him.
The chairman of the Committee said “You are not expected to dictate to us whether Bobrisky come here or not, it is left to us to decide, we can also compel him to come before us we can invoke our powers to arrest him
“In the case where Verydarkman refuses to honour this sitting we can invoke our powers.
“The allegation you made has caused this Committee to invite top government officials to come here so you the witness must speak otherwise we will exercise our powers. You must speak to the allegations you made.
“You are here already to testify, I will advise you to go ahead, don’t let anyone deceive you. To the lawyer please advise your client”

But his lawyer prevails on him to address the committee.
VeryDarkMan explained the authenticity of the trending audio record, stating that it was received from someone whom Bobrisky owed money, as he submitted part of the recording to the committee.
Background
In a viral video, VeryDarkMan alleged that controversial cross dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky paid ₦15 million for the anti-graft agency to drop money laundering charges against him during his naira spraying ordeal in April after which a court sentenced him to six months’ imprisonment.
The blogger also alleged that Bobrisky paid some millions of naira to secure a choice place in prison.
Bobrisky has since denied the allegations while the EFCC and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) have ordered investigations into the allegations by the blogger.
The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) had urged the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Lateef Fagbemi (SAN); and the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu; to conduct an independent investigation into allegations made by a blogger.
