BRIBERY CLAIMS: Bobrisky says he’s battling with suicidal thoughts, deletes all Instagram photos, videos
Nigerian crossdresser Idris Okuneye popularly known as Bobrisky has revealed that he is battling suicidal thoughts following bribery allegations made against him.
Recall that Very Dark Man had claimed that Bobrisky had offered N15 million to Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) officials in exchange for the EFCC dropping money laundering allegations against him which would have allowed Bobrisky to avoid doing time in the Kirikiri Correctional Center in Lagos.
In response to the allegations made by Very Dark Man and the controversy that has followed the claims, Bobrisky revealed in a post shared on his Facebook page on Thursday, September, 28, that he is considering suicide.

He wrote: “I have never in my life thought about suicide in my life but now is coming to my head seeing what human beings are doing to their fellow human just in the name you want to bring them down by force or because you don’t like them.
“I don’t need no sympathy from anyone. People I might have need sympathy from are my late parent. But who will fight for you? Friends? Haters you won.”
A quick check on the official Instagram page of the transvestite shows that he has deleted all his pictures and videos from the platform in an apparent protest against his current ordeal.
