Nigerian crossdresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has left the country and is en route to London after his recent arrest.
Social commentator Isaac Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, shared pictures from the airport, revealing that he and Bobrisky boarded the same flight.
Isaac Fayose, who has previously criticized Bobrisky’s recent detention by the police, posted the photos on Instagram on Thursday evening, captioning them, “See who’s on the same flight with me to London @bobrisky222.”
Just last week, Bobrisky was detained by Nigeria Immigration Service officers at the Seme border, allegedly during an attempt to leave Nigeria.
He was later transferred to the Lagos FCID in Alagbon, where his case is reportedly under investigation. It’s unclear if he was granted bail or released under any conditions.
Bobrisky, along with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS), is currently being investigated by a House of Representatives committee over bribery allegations.
The investigation followed a viral audio clip shared by social media influencer VeryDarkMan, in which Bobrisky allegedly claimed to have paid N15 million to EFCC officials to have money laundering charges dropped.
In the recording, the crossdresser also claimed his six-month jail sentence was spent in a private residence rather than Kirikiri Prison due to his “godfather’s” influence.
Bobrisky later labeled the recording as “fake” and threatened legal action against VeryDarkMan for defamation.
KanyiDaily recalls that an investigative committee has since stated that there’s no evidence to support the claim that Bobrisky served her sentence outside of prison.
