Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye better known as Bobrisky has regained freedom after his controversial detention.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that the social media personality was apprehended on Thursday night at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos as he attempted to board a KLM flight bound for Amsterdam.
In the video that surfaced on social media captures the moment, Bobrisky was disgracefully and forcefully dragged off the flight.
The crossdresser’s rearrest comes after Isaac Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti Governor Ayo Fayose took to his Instagram page to disclose that he met Bobrisky on his way to London.
In the Instagram post, Isaac Fayose wrote; “See who is on the same flight ✈️ with me to London @bobrisky222.
Shortly after the post, Bobrisky was forcefully removed. He was subsequently taken to EFCC headquarters in Abuja, where he faced questioning over allegations of bribing EFCC officers to drop previous money laundering charges.
The allegation stemmed from a voice note shared by social media critic Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, in which Bobrisky allegedly claimed to have paid N15 million to EFCC officials to halt the charges.
However, late Friday night, Bobrisky was said to have been released on bail after completing the necessary procedures.
EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale confirmed the release, declining further details.
However, sources disclosed that Bobrisky denied all bribery claims during his questioning, challenging the authenticity of the voice note and demanding that the individual responsible for posting it come forward with evidence.
“He denied everything about releasing money to any official as a bribe to drop the money laundering charges against him. He denied it in his statement. He said the fellow who posted the voice note should come over to justify it. He said nobody requested money from him in the EFCC and he didn’t give anyone anything”, said the source.
