Controversial Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky, has confirmed his temporary exit from the country amidst the legal issues with the Nigeria security agencies.
SundiataPost reports that Bobrisky, in a post via his Instagram page, said he is currently out of the country to attend to his sanity and health.
According to him, the Nigerian security agencies tried to frustrate him, noting that he bought three business class tickets for his trip but could not use them.
He said, “Yes I’m here to confirm I’m out of Nigeria temporarily… I need to attend to my sanity and my health. Few Nigerian security agencies try everything to frustrate me but naaa i gat God. Imagine !!! buying business class ticket 3 times. only 1 was successful. @klm I hope you guys refund me the two i didn’t use. I know is not ur fault but it’s fine. Each business class cost me 9.800,000. I only successfully flew yesterday 3/11/2024. Before you come to my page to type nonsense check ur account balance if you can afford 3 business sit not to talk of buying it 3times. Well I’m not in Nigeria so ur comment mean nothing. Cheers”
Recall that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrested Bobrisky at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos State as he attempted to board a KLM flight bound for Amsterdam.
Bobrisky’s arrest quickly made waves online when he alerted followers, sharing that he had sustained injuries in the process, saying, “Nigerians, help me, EFCC just arrested me. I’m badly injured.”
He was subsequently transported to the EFCC headquarters in Abuja, where he faced questioning over allegations of bribing EFCC officers to drop previous money laundering charges.
The allegation stemmed from a voice note shared by social media critic Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, in which Bobrisky allegedly claimed to have paid N15 million to EFCC officials to halt the charges.
Bobrisky was released on bail late Friday night after reportedly completing the necessary procedures.
EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, confirmed the release on Saturday to Punch, declining further details.
However, sources disclosed that Bobrisky denied all bribery claims during his questioning, challenging the authenticity of the voice note and demanding that the individual responsible for posting it come forward with evidence.
