Controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, has confirmed his “temporary” departure from Nigeria, citing the need to attend to his “sanity and health.”

“Yes, I’m here to confirm I’m out of Nigeria temporarily. I need to attend to my sanity and my health,” he wrote in a post on Instagram on Monday.

The crossdresser also expressed disappointment over travel disruptions he had experienced, attributing it to frustrations from local security agencies.

Hence, he called on KLM, the airline involved, to refund two unused tickets, which he said cost N9.8m each.

He added, “Few Nigerian security agencies tried everything to frustrate me, but naaa, I gat God.”

“Imagine buying a business class ticket three times; only one was successful. KLM, I hope you guys refund me the two I didn’t use. I know it’s not your fault, but it’s fine.

“Each business class cost me 9.800,000. I only successfully flew yesterday, 3/11/2024.”

In his post, Bobrisky addressed potential critics, saying, “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.”

Bobrisky had earlier announced his departure from Nigeria on Monday morning, a few days after he was released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Recall that the embattled cross-dresser was stopped and removed from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight at Murtala Muhammed International Airport while attempting to travel to London on Thursday night.

He alleged that he sustained injuries during the incident.

Following the altercation, he was taken to the EFCC headquarters in Abuja, where he was reportedly questioned regarding claims that he had bribed the officials with N15 million to drop money laundering charges against him.

He was later released on bail after he reportedly denied bribing the EFCC in his confessional statement. (The PUNCH)
