Controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has slammed Nigerians who demand a probe about the revelation that he allegedly bribed officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Nigeria Correctional Service to bend the law to his favour.
In a recent post, he mentioned the high cost of petrol in Nigeria as the problem, not him.
On Wednesday, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited increased the price of petrol across its retail outlets.
In Abuja, at Wuse Zone 4, an NNPC retail station sold the product at N1,030 per litre.
While expressing frustration about the latest hike in petrol, Bobrisky pointed out that some people still think he’s the problem in Nigeria despite larger issues like the fuel hike.
“Fuel is now 1065 per liter and some people still think I am the problem of this country. Gosh!” he wrote.
The crossdresser and VeryDarkMan have been in the news since last month after the activist shared a purported audio recording online wherein she claimed she bribed the EFCC officials with N15,000,000 to drop the charges against her.
Bobrisky was released from prison on August 5 after she was sentenced to six months on April 12 for abusing the naira.
In the first recording, the crossdresser claimed his “godfather” alongside Haliru Nababa, the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) controller general, ensured she served the six-month sentence in a private apartment, and not the prison.
Reacting, Bobrisky described the viral recording as “fake”. He argued that he did not pay any amount to the anti-graft agency and that she served her jail term.
The Snapchat celebrity also disclosed he was contemplating suicide and also threatened N1 billion lawsuit against the activist for alleged defamation.
On Monday, VeryDarkMan released another recording of Bobrisky, claiming he paid the EFCC money to drop money laundering charges.
In the recording, Bobrisky insisted that his source of income was legitimate, arguing that he charges up to $100,000 per post as a social media influencer.
