The Curious case of Bobrisky

In a dramatic turn of events, Bobrisky, Nigeria’s infamous crossdresser and social media personality, found himself in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) once again. The controversy-prone celebrity was removed from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight at Lagos’ Murtala Muhammed International Airport late Thursday night.

Keep in mind that the recent allegations shared by Verydarkman, a social activist on Instagram painted a picture that contradicts the official narrative. According to him, Bobrisky was never imprisoned; instead, he was kept in a private apartment within the prison premises.

From various sources, Bobrisky’s rearrest was sparked by his failure to respond to multiple EFCC invitations. The commission had been investigating allegations made by Bobrisky, claiming he bribed EFCC officers with a whopping N15 million to drop money laundering charges.

The EFCC denied these allegations and launched a probe into the matter. Director of Public Affairs Wilson Uwajaren hinted during a press briefing that Bobrisky might face fresh charges for spreading false information.

A top EFCC official revealed that Bobrisky’s rearrest aimed to force him to substantiate his claims. “He who alleges must be ready to prove,” he stated. “We’ve invited him multiple times, but he ignored us. Now, it’s time for him to back up his words.”

Bobrisky took to Instagram to alert his followers, alleging injuries during an altercation with immigration officers. “Nigerians help me, EFCC just arrested me. I’m badly injured,” he posted.

Many are questioning whether Bobrisky’s sexuality and lifestyle are also factors in his ongoing ordeal. As a crossdresser in a conservative country, Bobrisky has faced relentless scrutiny and backlash. Critics argue that Bobrisky’s arrest may be motivated by more than just the alleged bribery claims. “This could be a classic case of profiling and harassment,” said a human rights activist. “The EFCC must ensure that Bobrisky’s rights are protected, regardless of his sexuality or lifestyle.”

This development marks the latest chapter in Bobrisky’s ongoing saga with the EFCC. Will he provide evidence to support his claims, or will this controversy further tarnish his reputation? Only time will tell.
