Bobrisky, the self-proclaimed transgender, has finally travelled out of Nigeria after two failed attempts.
Last Thursday, the crossdresser was re-arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) officials while attempting to leave Nigeria. A video shared on Instagram showed airport officials dragging her off the plane.
The commission also confirmed her rearrest. Last Friday, Dele Oyewale, EFCC spokesperson, told TheCable Lifestyle that Bobrisky was taken into custody to assist in investigating bribery allegations against the agency.
“It is just for him to come and establish the basis and write a statement to that effect and he will be released,” Oyewale had said.
On Monday, the social media celebrity took to her Instagram stories to share videos of herself on a plane.
Though she did not disclose her destination, she boasted about “purchasing first-class tickets three times, totaling over N30 million”.
“See you soon, Nigeria. This girl bought a first-class ticket three times; that’s over 30 million. Raise the bar for this girl,” she wrote.
The crossdresser has been in the eye of the storm since activist VeryDarkMan shared a purported audio conversation wherein she claimed that she paid some EFCC officials N15 million to drop money laundering charges against her.
Bobrisky denied the recording’s authenticity and threatened legal action against VeryDarkMan.
The social media celebrity was also arrested at the Seme border a few weeks ago for allegedly attempting to flee the country.
The crossdresser, the EFCC, and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) are under investigation by a house of representatives committee over bribery allegations.
The National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC) also recently condemned the lifestyle of Bobrisky.
