Controversial crossdresser and social media influencer, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has revealed why he left the country in the midst of legal Disputes.
In a series of social media posts, Bobrisky clarified that he exited Nigeria temporarily because of his well-being.
According to Bobrisky, his decision was prompted by frustrations from some Nigerian security agencies and the need to attend to his sanity and health.
“A few Nigerian security agencies tried everything to frustrate me, but naah, I gat God,” he said.
He added, “Imagine!!! I bought business class tickets three times, but only one was successful. Each business class cost me 9,800,000. I only successfully flew out yesterday. Before you come to my page to type nønsénsé, check your account balance to see if you can afford three business class seats, not to talk about buying it three times. I’m not in Nigeria, so your comment means nothing to me. Cheers.”
Bobrisky’s exit comes after a chaotic few months. He was arrested by the Nigerian Immigration Services (NIS) at the Seme border and later sentenced to six months imprisonment for spraying the Nigerian Naira at an event, an act considered an abuse of the Naira by the Nigerian Constitution.
Additionally, allegations of bribery and special treatment during his prison term have surrounded Bobrisky. An audio leak suggested that he bribed the EFCC with 15 million to write off money laundering charges against him. The audio also alleged that with the help of his ‘godfather’, he was able to bribe the Nigerian correctional services to complete his term in a private location.
Renowned human rights lawyer Femi Falana and his son, Falz, were implicated in the allegations, with Bobrisky claiming they requested N10 million for a presidential pardon. However, Mr. Falana denied the accusations.
