Popular cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, has distanced himself from a suspect in Rivers State, also nicknamed Bobrisky, who is wanted for alleged notorious crimes.
The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, had declared the criminal wanted, placing a N30 million bounty on his head.
Nyesom urged anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of the wanted Bobrisky, who is from the Gokana Local Government Area in the state, to come forward.
The governor expressed regret over cultists’ takeover of youth groups across the state while calling for information about the killers of a director with the state government, who was killed during the Choba community crisis.
Okuneye, in a post on his official Instagram page, however, stressed that he was not the one who was declared wanted.
The cross-dresser said he had been a woman for two years, adding that his self-proclaimed womanhood had saved him from being apprehended as a suspect.
He said, “So, a notorious criminal in Rivers state is bearing my stage name, Bobrisky. Thank God I have turned to a woman before the useless criminal committed the crimes. If not, I would have become a suspect by now.
“And why are bloggers placing my picture together with Governor Nyesom Wike’s. Please, it is not my Bobrisky he is looking for o. I have turned to a woman since two years ago.”
