Controversial Nigerian cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly called Bobrisky, has confirmed his “temporary” departure from Nigeria, stating the need to attend to his “sanity and health.”
“Yes, I’m here to confirm I’m out of Nigeria temporarily. I need to attend to my sanity and my health,” he wrote in a post on Instagram on Monday.
Bobrisky also expressed disappointment over travel disruptions he had experienced, attributing it to frustrations from local security agencies.
To this end, he called on KLM, the airline involved, to refund two unused tickets, which he said cost N9.8m each.
He added, “Few Nigerian security agencies tried everything to frustrate me, but naaa, I gat God.”
“Imagine buying a business class ticket three times; only one was successful. KLM, I hope you guys refund me the two I didn’t use. I know it’s not your fault, but it’s fine.
“Each business class cost me $9.800,000. I only successfully flew yesterday, 3/11/2024.”
In his statement, Bobrisky addressed potential critics, saying, “Before you come to my page to type nonsense, check your account balance if you can afford three business seats, not to talk of buying it three times. Well, I’m not in Nigeria, so your comment means nothing.”
Bobrisky announced his departure from Nigeria on Monday morning, a few days after being released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Recall that on Thursday night, the beleaguered cross-dresser was detained and removed from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight at Murtala Muhammed International Airport while attempting to go to London.
He claimed that he was injured during the event. Following the scuffle, he was transported to the EFCC headquarters in Abuja, where he was reportedly questioned about allegations that he bribed officials with N15 million to drop money laundering accusations against him.
However, he was later released on bail after he reportedly denied bribing the EFCC in his confessional statement.
