Controversial Nigerian crossdresser, Bobrisky, has successfully left the country just hours after being released from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). This comes amidst an ongoing investigation involving an alleged N15 million bribe.
Taking to his Instagram story on Monday morning, Bobrisky shared updates confirming his departure from Nigeria, marking a significant development following days of publicized encounters with authorities. In a video that has now gained traction online, he captioned, “See u soon Nigeria. Dis girl bought a first-class ticket 3 times that is over 30 million. Raise bar for dis girl.”
Bobrisky’s successful exit from the country follows two prior attempts that were thwarted by law enforcement. Reports indicate that he was initially arrested at Seme border by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) while trying to cross into neighboring territory. He was later re-arrested at Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, last week as he prepared to board a flight to London.
The crossdresser has been embroiled in controversy following the emergence of an audio recording in which he purportedly claimed to have offered N15 million as a bribe to EFCC officers to drop money laundering charges against him. This sparked public outcry and further scrutiny by the anti-graft agency.
After his release from custody, Bobrisky’s decision to leave the country underscores the gravity of the case, which has garnered widespread attention both online and offline. While he has yet to make a comprehensive public statement regarding the investigation, his posts and the announcement of his departure have fueled speculation about his next moves and the potential ramifications of the EFCC’s ongoing probe.
The case has captured the attention of Nigerians, raising debates about the transparency of anti-corruption efforts and the influence of high-profile figures within the system. For now, all eyes remain on the developments that may follow Bobrisky’s exit as the EFCC continues its investigation into the alleged bribe and other related charges.
