Popular cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, has confirmed his temporary departure from Nigeria, explaining it as necessary for 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,” Bobrisky shared in an Instagram post on Monday.
He also voiced frustration over recent travel disruptions, attributing the challenges to some Nigerian security agencies. In light of these issues, he called on KLM, the airline involved, to refund him for two unused tickets, each reportedly costing N9.8 million.
Bobrisky elaborated, “Few Nigerian security agencies tried everything to frustrate me, but naaa, I gat God.”
He further shared, “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 addressing his critics, he stated, “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’s departure follows his recent release by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Days before, he was reportedly removed from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight at Murtala Muhammed International Airport while attempting to travel to London.
He later alleged that he sustained injuries during the incident and was subsequently taken to the EFCC headquarters in Abuja for questioning on accusations of bribing officials with N15 million to drop potential money laundering charges. Bobrisky was later released on bail after reportedly denying these allegations in a statement.
