Bobrisky, the controversial crossdresser, has revealed that her previous claim of being arrested by the Nigerian immigration authorities was an “April Fool’s prank”.

Earlier, Bobrisky had taken to social media to claim she was arrested in Nigeria, leaving many of her fans and followers concerned.

 

“Guys, have just been arrested by immigration in Nigeria. I don’t know what I did o,” she wrote.

 

However, in a follow-up post, the controversial social media celebrity revealed that she was simply playing a trick on her audience.

Bobrisky’s prank comes a few months after she had stated that she left Nigeria to focus on her well-being.

 

The self-proclaimed transgender’s troubles date back to April last year when she was arrested and sentenced to six months in prison for abusing the naira.

 

After she was released, activist VeryDarkMan shared a purported audio conversation wherein she claimed she paid some EFCC officials N15 million to drop money laundering charges against her.

 

She also alleged that her “godfather”, alongside Haliru Nababa, controller-general of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), ensured she served the six-month sentence in a private apartment and not in prison.

 

Bobrisky denied the recording’s authenticity and threatened legal action against VeryDarkMan.

 

The social media celebrity was arrested on October 21 at the Seme border for allegedly attempting to flee the country. On November 1, the crossdresser was re-arrested by EFCC officials while attempting to leave Nigeria.

In a recent TikTok live session, Bobrisky announced her relocation to an undisclosed country where she “is officially recognised as female and receives the respect I deserve”.

 

She also vowed never to return to Nigeria.

 

“Nothing will bring me back to Nigeria. I am never living in Nigeria. If I need to come to Nigeria, it will be visitation because this country suit me,” she added.
