- The crossdresser also voiced his grievance with the travel disruptions he faced, blaming local security agencies for his travail.
Controversial cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, has shed more light on his decision to leave Nigeria after his encounter with security agencies in recent months.
Recall that the embattled cross-dresser was yanked off an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight at Murtala Muhammed International Airport while trying to travel to London on Thursday night.
He was however later released and subsequently departed Nigeria on Sunday following two previous failed attempts.
Speaking on why he left the shores of the West Africa nation, Bobrisky said it became imperative for him to leave Nigeria in order to attend to his wellbeing and mental health.
The crossdresser also voiced his grievance with the travel disruptions he faced, blaming local security agencies for his travail.
“Yes, I’m here to confirm I’m out of Nigeria temporarily. I need to attend to my sanity and my health,” he stated in an Instagram post on Monday.
He also urged KLM, the airline involved, to refund him for two unused tickets, which he claimed cost N9.8 million each.
“Few Nigerian security agencies try everything to frustrate me, but naaa, I gat God,” he added.
“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 also responded to 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.”
