He says some Nigerian agencies tried to frustrate him.

After successfully leaving Nigeria following two separate apprehensions by law enforcement, social media personality Bobrisky has opened up about his reasons for leaving.

Taking to Instagram on November 4, 2024, Bobrisky stated that even though his hiatus was only temporary, it was needed for his mental health.

He wrote, "Yes, I’m here to confirm I'm out of Nigeria temporarily... I need to attend to my sanity and my health. Few Nigeria security agencies try everything to frustrate me but naaa i gat God. Imagine !!! buying business class ticket 3 times. only 1 was successful. @kIm I hope you guys refund me the two i didn’t use. I know is not ur fault but it’s fine."

"Each business class cost me 9.800,000. I only successfully flew yesterday 3/11/2024. Before you come to my page to type nonsense check ur account balance if you can afford 3 business sit not to talk of buying it 3times. Well I’m not in Nigeria so ur comment mean nothing. Cheers," he added.

The controversial social media personality faced a barrage of issues throughout the year but most recently, on November 1, 2024, he was dragged off a plane headed to London and arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Before his arrest, Isaac Fayose, brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose and a fellow passenger, confirmed the incident, sharing images of himself with Bobrisky before departure.

In the week before that, Bobrisky was also arrested at the Seme border while on the verge of departing the shores of Nigeria for the Benin Republic. Pictures circulated across social media showing him in the back of a patrol vehicle after being apprehended.
