Controversial cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky, has clarified the reasons behind his recent departure from Nigeria after two failed attempts to travel abroad.
The social media personality had made headlines earlier when he was stopped and removed from a KLM flight bound for Amsterdam at Murtala Muhammed International Airport on Thursday night, as he attempted to travel to London.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, Bobrisky addressed his departure, revealing that he had left Nigeria temporarily to focus on his health and well-being.
“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 the post.
The cross-dresser also expressed his frustration with the series of travel disruptions, blaming Nigerian security agencies for the inconvenience he faced.
He mentioned that despite purchasing business class tickets for his travels, only one out of three attempts was successful.
“Imagine buying a business class ticket three times; only one was successful,” he said, adding that he had spent N9.8 million on each of the two unused tickets.
Bobrisky also called on KLM, the airline involved in the incident, to refund him for the tickets he was unable to use.
“KLM, I hope you guys refund me the two I didn’t use. I know it’s not your fault, but it’s fine,” he said.
In a direct response to potential critics, Bobrisky emphasized his ability to afford the costly flights, encouraging them to evaluate their own financial standing before criticizing him.
“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,” he added with a touch of defiance.
Bobrisky’s post has sparked conversations online, with many weighing in on his public statements about his travels and the issues he encountered in the process.
