Following his release from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), controversial cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has reportedly left the country.
In a series of videos posted on his Instagram story on Monday morning, Bobrisky revealed that he was travelling in first class, but he did not specify where he was going.
“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 also humorously remarked on the disfigurement of his passport photo, saying, “That passport disfigured my picture.”
Bobrisky’s departure comes on the heels of a series of events that unfolded last week.
Reports says that the embattled cross-dresser was stopped and removed from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight at Murtala Muhammed International Airport while attempting to travel to London on Thursday night.
He alleged that he sustained injuries during the incident and subsequently alerted his followers on social media.
Following the altercation, he was taken to the headquarters of the EFCC in Abuja, where he reportedly was questioned regarding claims that he had bribed officials with N15 million to dismiss money laundering charges against him.
He was freed on bail on Saturday after he reportedly denied bribing the EFCC 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 initially incarcerated at Kirikiri Prison, reports emerged that he spent only three weeks in confinement before being discreetly relocated to an undisclosed private location.
In September, things became even more heated when Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, a social media celebrity, published an audio clip purportedly showing Bobrisky talking about bribing EFCC officials to dismiss money laundering accusations against him.
