“See you soon, Nigeria” – Bobrisky flies out of country amid legal battles
“See you soon, Nigeria. This girl bought a first-class ticket three times; that’s over 30 million. Raise the bar for this girl,”
Controversial cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has reportedly left Nigeria a few days after his release from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
While he did not disclose his destination, Bobrisky shared a series of videos on his Instagram story on Monday morning, announcing that he was travelling on a first-class ticket.
“See you soon, Nigeria. This girl bought a first-class ticket three times; that’s over 30 million. Raise the bar for this girl,” he boasted.
He humorously commented on the disfigurement of his passport photo, saying, “That passport disfigured my picture.”
Bobrisky’s departure comes in the wake of several events that transpired last week. The embattled cross-dresser was recently removed from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight at Murtala Muhammed International Airport while attempting to travel to London on Thursday night. He claimed to have sustained injuries during this incident and informed his followers on social media.
After the altercation, he was taken to the EFCC headquarters in Abuja, where he faced questioning about allegations that he had bribed officials with 15 million Naira to drop money laundering charges against him. He was later released on bail on Saturday after reportedly denying the bribery allegations in his confessional statement made at the commission’s headquarters.
Bobrisky’s legal troubles began in April 2024 when he was sentenced to six months in prison for naira abuse. Although he was initially incarcerated at Kirikiri Prison, reports later indicated that he spent only three weeks in confinement before being discreetly moved to an undisclosed private location.
The situation intensified in September when social media influencer Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, released an audio recording that allegedly featured Bobrisky discussing the bribery of EFCC officials to dismiss money laundering charges against him. More
