Controversial Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okunneye, better known as Bobrisky, was spotted alongside Isaac Fayose, younger brother to former governor of Ekiti State, while travelling out of the country.
Naijaonpoint reports that Isaac, who had previously faulted Bobrisky’s detention by the police, took to his Instagram page on Thursday evening to share photos of himself with the crossdresser.
Isaac Fayose said he and Bobrisky boarded the same flight to London.
He wrote, “See who is on the same flight ✈️ with me to London @bobrisky222.”
Bobrisky also took to his Instagram story to share a mockery post saying, “Who laugh last laugh best.”
Recall that last week, Bobrisky was arrested by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) at the Seme border during an alleged attempt to flee the country.
The social media celebrity was later transferred to the Lagos FCID in Alagbon for further investigation.
Meanwhile, Bobrisky may face fresh criminal charges over claims of serving his jail term in a private apartment and bribing officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to drop money laundering charges against him.
Naijaonpoint recalls that Bobrisky was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment on April 12 for abusing the naira and was released from prison on August 5.
On September 30, the minister of interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, constituted an investigative panel chaired by the permanent secretary of the ministry of interior, Magdalena Ajani, on ‘Alleged Corruption & Other Violations Against the Nigerian Correctional Service.’ to investigate the controversies surrounding Bobrisky’s release.
Tunji-Ojo ordered a probe after the controversial activist, VeryDarkMan, shared a video in which Bobrisky claimed that he bribed some EFCC officials with N15 million to drop the money laundering charge against him and also bribed officials of the Nigerian Correctional Service to serve his six-month sentence in a private apartment.
In the footage, a voice allegedly belonging to Bobrisky also claimed that a “godfather” alongside Haliru Nababa, the controller general of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), ensured she served the six-month sentence in a private apartment and not in prison.
However, while presenting its report, the panel said there was no evidence that Bobrisky slept outside the Kirikiri Custodial Centre during his six-month sentence.
Details of the report, obtained by Sunday PUNCH, revealed that a panel set up to investigate Bobrisky’s claims recommended that he should face defamation and criminal charges.
The panel stated that Bobrisky tarnished the image of the correctional service with false claims and asked the Department of State Services to investigate whether, directly or through a proxy, he bribed the EFCC or the correctional service.
The panel also said that if Bobrisky’s bribery allegations are substantiated, he should be charged with corrupt practices.
