Popular crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, has opened up about struggling with suicidal thoughts amid his bribery saga involving Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) officials.
Self acclaimed activist, Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, shared a video online on Tuesday wherein Bobrisky claimed she bribed some EFCC officials with N15,000,000 to drop the money laundering charges against her.
The commission then invited VeryDarkMan and Bobrisky over bribery allegations against its officials.
Ola Olukoyede, the EFCC chairman, also ordered an immediate investigation into the allegations.
But on Wednesday, the crossdresser described the viral recording as “fake,” arguing that she did not pay any amount to the anti-graft agency.
Bobrisky also insisted that she served her term in prison.
Similarly, popular rapper, appeared to have confirmed a part of VeryDarkMan’s claims in a warning letter to the activist.
In a letter demanding the activist to retract his allegation, Falz claimed the crossdresser called him to seek financial assistance of “N3 million to pay some officials to get a VIP prison section” — which he declined.
But on Thursday in a post on Instastory, Bobrisky revealed the emotional toll of the whole saga.
The crossdresser also emphasised that she does not seek sympathy but longs for understanding and support.
“I have never in my life thought about suicide in my life but now is coming to my head seeing what human being are doing to their fellow human just in d name you want to bring them down by force or because you don’t like them,” she wrote.
“I don’t need no sympathy from anyone. People i might have need sympathy from are my late parent. But who will fight for you? Friends? HATERS YOU WON.”
The social media influencer and socialite regained his freedom on August 5, 2024, after spending six months in incarceration for abusing the naira by spraying it at a party.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had on April 5 secured the conviction of Bobrisky. He was charged on four counts bordering on naira abuse.
Following his release, Bobrisky urged Nigerians to follow the rules and abide by the law.
