Bobrisky hints at not returning to Nigeria

Controversial Nigerian cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye Olarenwaju, popularly known as Bobrisky, has hinted that he may not return to the country from the UK where he is now temporarily hybernating, citing the need to attend to his “sanity and health.”

In a video he shared on Instagram on Wednesday, Bobrisky said he may not return to Nigeria as he feels very much welcome in his new environment.

In the video post, the cross-dresser paid a special tribute to an unnamed godfather, wishing he could give him a baby, which he said unfortunately, he can’t.

Bobrisky had left the country two weeks ago after his brushes with the law which saw him arrested twice in a space of one week, the first as he tried to sneak out of the country to Benin Republic.

He was to be arrested again a few days after he was granted bail by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), aboard a London-bound KLM flight at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos. He was detained briefly before he was again granted bail and this time, he was able to travel out legally.

“Yes, I’m here to confirm I’m out of Nigeria temporarily. I need to attend to my sanity and my health,” he had written in a post on Instagram when he finally left the country.

“Before you come to my page to type nonsense, check your account balance if you can afford three business seats, not to talk of buying it three times. Well, I’m not in Nigeria, so your comment means nothing,” in reply to a commenter.
