Idris Okuneye also known as Bobrisky is a controversial crossdresser who reportedly flew out of Nigeria a few days after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission released him.
Bobrisky revealed that he was flying on a first-class ticket in a series of videos posted on his Instagram story on Monday morning, although he did not specify his destination.
“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 humorously remarked on the disfigurement of his passport photo, saying, “That passport disfigured my picture.”
Several incidents that transpired the previous week preceded Bobrisky’s departure.
It was reported that the troubled crossdresser was stopped and removed from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight headed for Amsterdam at Murtala Muhammed International Airport on Thursday night as she tried to board a journey to London.
He reported that he sustained injuries during the incident and subsequently alerted his followers on social media.
When he was brought to the EFCC headquarters in Abuja after the scuffle, he was allegedly questioned about allegations that he had bribed officials N15 million to get money laundering charges against him dropped.
After he allegedly denied bribing the EFCC in his confessional testimony at the commission’s headquarters, he was later freed on bail on Saturday.
In April 2024, Bobrisky was sentenced to a six-month prison sentence for abusing naira, which marked the beginning of his legal issues.
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.
The situation escalated further in September when a social media influencer, Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, released an audio recording allegedly featuring Bobrisky discussing the bribery of EFCC officials to drop money laundering charges against him.
