Bobrisky leaves Nigeria days after arrest by EFCC aboard Amsterdam-bound plane (Video)

The controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye Bobrisky, has finally left the shores of Nigeria.

Although he was silent on his destination, Bobrisky posted a video of himself inside an aircraft on Monday morning with the caption: “See you soon Nigeria.”

The cross-dresser left the country a few days after he was released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Bobrisky was forcefully removed from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos by the EFCC and the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) operatives last Thursday.

The commission later said in a statement the cross-dresser was picked up after he failed to honour an invitation to clarify the alleged N15 million bribe he gave to its operatives.

“We have arrested him in Lagos today and will be flown to Abuja today. He accused us of bribery and corruption; we invited him severally, but he did not show up. He who alleges must be ready to prove. Those allegations are too weighty to allow slide,” the EFCC said.

Bobrisky was released on Friday after he denied the allegation.
