Bobrisky jets out of Nigeria after 2 failed attempts
After two failed attempts, popular crossdresser, Okuneye Idris, also known as Bobrisky, has allegedly left the country amid his ongoing trouble and legal battle with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Bobrisky, in a series of posts on his Instagram story on Monday, November 4, announced his foreign trip but did not disclose his destination.
“See you soon, Nigeria. This girl bought a first-class ticket three times,” he wrote.

This comes barely four days after he was ejected off a KLM Airline flight bound for Amsterdam.
He was forced out at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos and detained by immigration officers on the night of Thursday, October 31, while attempting to leave the country for London, the United Kingdom.
He was consequently taken to the headquarters of the EFCC in Abuja, where he was grilled regarding his bribery allegations against the commission.
He was later released on bail on Saturday after he reportedly denied bribing the EFCC in his confessional statement made at the commission’s headquarters.
According to The Punch, a source privy to the situation revealed that Bobrisky denied the bribery allegation in his statement at the EFCC headquarters.
The source further mentioned that Bobrisky challenged the individual who posted the audio clip to substantiate it.
“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,” the source noted.
This incident came over a week after he was intercepted at the Sème Border while allegedly attempting to flee the country on 22 October.
Recall that allegations surfaced online from social media influencer Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, claiming that while serving his sentence for abusing the naira, Bobrisky bribed prison officials and others to allow him to remain outside the prison.
He was said to have bribed senior prison officers to give him undeserved privileges as a convict.
The allegations prompted the Minister of Iinterior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, to set up an investigative panel chaired by the ministry’s permanent secretary, Magdalena Ajani.
The panel stated that Bobrisky had access to special privileges during his incarceration, including a private cell, visitors, and access to electronic devices.
