Award-winning Nigerian comedian, Atunyota Alleluia Akpobome better known as Ali Baba has reacted to the arrest of Bobrisky by EFCC.
Taking to his Instagram page, in a sarcastic post, he questioned why the crossdresser was arrested as he noted how many are abusing the naira notes at events.
Sharing a photo of men, dressed in Igbo attires, raining money at an event, he questioned if the EFCC was unable to arrest them because they are men. Describing it as unfair, he noted how a female celebrity was also sentenced over the same reason.
In a sarcastic post, he stated that now, the commission has arrested another lady, Bobrisky for the same thing that men get away with. He lamented over women are being treated in the country.
“And Bobrisky was arrested for what again?
_
Because they are men?
This is not right.
The other time on celebrity lady was sentenced for this same thing.
Now, EFCC has arrested another lady for the same thing that men get away with.
The way we treat women in this country is not good.
Mennnnnn… I just tayaaa”.
Early this morning, news broke out that the famous crossdresser had been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission EFCC. According to the report, he was arrested at Pinnock Estate, in Lagos State on April 3, 2024, at 3 pm.
Confirming his arrest, a spokesperson for the commission identified as Dele Oyewale exclusively revealed to Linda Ikeji Blog, the cause of his arrest. He claimed that the crossdresser was arrested for currency mutilation and abuse of the Naira and would be charged in court soon.
The commission had even released his mugshot, with a post shedding more light on his arrest and how his presence at Eniola Ajao’s movie premiere, Ajanaku led to his arrest.
Following the arrest, netizens dug up a video of him spraying money at Eniola Ajao’s movie premiere, with many defending him as they noted how it was the usual tradition at Nigerian parties to spray money at an event. Some claimed that EFCC just wanted to use him as a scapegoat to others.
His arch-enemy, Very Dark Man, who is deriving joy in his arrest, had warned the owner of the estate where Bobrisky stays to avoid getting involved in Bobrisky’s issue with the EFCC.
VDM insinuated in his video that he was the one who instigated Bobrisky’s arrest when he said that this is just the beginning, and that he would write a petition against Bobrisky, on the basis that he suspects him of money laundering. He further also said that any prominent man that makes any call to the EFCC soliciting for Bobrisky’s release is sleeping with him.
Last year, EFCC had arraigned Oluwadarasimi Omoseyin, an actress and cosmetologist, after a video of her spraying and stepping on the newly redesigned naira notes at a party surfaced online. EFCC operatives also seized a Range Rover and iPhone belonging to the actress, as items recovered from her.
In February of this year, she was sentenced to six months imprisonment with an option of a N300,000.00 fine to be paid into the consolidated revenue account of the federation.
