Bobrisky Leaves Nigeria Amid Legal Issues

Bobrisky Leaves Nigeria Amid Legal Issues

Controversial cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has reportedly departed Nigeria just days after his release from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

While he did not disclose his destination, Bobrisky shared videos on his Instagram story on Monday morning, boasting about traveling 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 exclaimed.

In a humorous moment, he commented on the disfigurement of his passport photo, saying, “That passport disfigured my picture.”

Bobrisky’s exit follows a tumultuous week. Reports indicate that he was removed from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight at Murtala Muhammed International Airport while attempting to travel to London. He claimed to have sustained injuries during the incident and later informed his followers on social media.

After the altercation, he was taken to the EFCC headquarters in Abuja, where he faced questioning over allegations of bribing officials with N15 million to dismiss money laundering charges against him. He was released on bail on Saturday after denying the bribery allegations in his confession.

Bobrisky’s legal troubles began in April 2024 when he was sentenced to six months in prison for naira abuse. Although initially held at Kirikiri Prison, he reportedly spent only three weeks there 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 allegedly featuring Bobrisky discussing bribing EFCC officials to drop the money laundering charges
