Bobrisky returns with a humbling message

Bobrisky returns from the detention of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) with a humbling message. The hitherto high-sounding fellow has turned a motivational speaker.

Bobrisky, the popular Nigerian crossdresser, has made a significant return to social media. He recently shared a motivational message encouraging Nigerians to become their best selves.

This follows his recent release from the detention of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS). He was there after he was arrested at Seme Border, while trying to sneak out of Nigeria.  Some said he was trying  to evade an ongoing investigation related to allegations of corruption involving the Nigeria Correctional Service​

Arrest at Seme Border

Bobrisky’s recent troubles began on October 21, 2024, when he was apprehended at the Seme border while attempting to cross into Benin. Reports indicate that he arrived in a black SUV around 1:30 a.m. but was stopped by immigration officials who recognized him during routine checks​

The NIS later confirmed that Bobrisky was being held as a person of interest in a broader investigation. He remained in custody for several hours before being released​

Upon his release, Bobrisky addressed his followers, expressing gratitude for their support and revealing his transformation into a more peaceful version of himself. He encouraged his audience to embrace positivity and self-improvement​. Sources said he might be facing more legal actions, soon 

Bobrisky returns,  looking ahead

Bobrisky returns to face new legal challenges and even the ones he tried to run away from. An investigative panel recently indicted several prison officers for alleged misconduct during Bobrisky’s previous imprisonment. The cross-dresser was in prison from April to August 2024.​

An audio released by VDM recently generated a controversy over Bobrisky’s tenure in prison. It was alleged that he did not spend his time inside prison and enjoyed certain privileges. Some prison officials were suspended.  The MInistry of Interior promptly set up a panel to investigate the matter.

The findings sparked discussions about human rights, especially concerning the treatment of transgender and crossdressing individuals within the Nigerian legal system​.
