“See you soon, Nigeria”Bobrisky flees the country amidst ongoing legal troubles

Nigerian cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has reportedly left the country following a series of events that have kept him in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

According to reports, Bobrisky departed Nigeria on Monday, boasting about traveling first-class and sharing videos on his Instagram story.

He wrote, “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.

Although his destination remains unknown, his departure comes as no surprise given the recent turmoil surrounding his legal issues.

Bobrisky’s legal troubles began in April 2024 when he was sentenced to six months in prison for naira abuse. Initially incarcerated at Kirikiri Prison, reports suggest he spent only three weeks in confinement before being relocated to a private location.

The situation took a turn for the worse in September when social media influencer Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, released an audio recording allegedly featuring Bobrisky discussing bribery of EFCC officials to drop money laundering charges against him.

Last week, Bobrisky was stopped and 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 alerted his followers on social media.

Subsequently, he was taken to the EFCC headquarters in Abuja for questioning regarding the bribery allegations. Bobrisky denied the allegations in his confessional statement and was later released on bail on Saturday.

Bobrisky’s departure has sparked mixed reactions from Nigerians, with some expressing relief while others criticize the perceived leniency in his treatment.

The EFCC has faced scrutiny over its handling of Bobrisky’s case, with many questioning the commission’s effectiveness in tackling high-profile corruption cases.
