Nigerian male Barbie and Snapchat queen, Idris Okuneye, most
popularly known as Bobrisky, was arrested in Lekki, Lagos.
Since his arrest, there have been many speculations as to why he
was arrested, but it is being reported that the social media
celebrity admitted to being gay.
Sources claim that he admitted it to being gay in a tweet, while
others claim that his arrest is linked to Toyin Lawani after Lawani
and Bobrisky engaged in fiery social media exchange.
However, Lawani immediately refuted the claims and denied any
involvement in Bobrisky’s arrest.
“Please, she has nothing to do with that. You people should stop
linking her to it,” Lawani’s assistant said.
If the allegations are true and Bobrisky is found guilty of
homosexuality, he could be facing up to 14 years in prison.
Lagos State Police Public Relations Office (PRO), Famous Cole,
claims he was not aware of Bobrisky’s arrest, but believes that he
could have been invited in for questioning.
“I’m not aware of such arrest at the moment. Maybe he was
invited in for questioning, or he went voluntarily to make a
complaint,” he said.
According to reports, Bobrisky posted and quickly deleted the
self-incriminating message.
The post stated:
All these house boys and girls coming to drop comments on my
page are you all stupid?
Do you think your hate comments can change me? Why are you
trying so hard to get my attention?
F**k off my page, and go and find something meaningful to do
with your life. Just this morning I have mad up to 750,000 hustle
still continue.
You are here wasting your MB on someone else lifestyle.
If all your insult bothered me, I should have stopped posting
here.
Yes am gay, I will go to hellfire. Thanks. Please, what
else?
Am tired of that same words. I wanna hear something new.
Cheers.
According to reports, Bobrisky will likely be transferred to
Abuja, where he will be treated impartially.
Since the news, social media has been on opposite ends on the
issue of homosexuality in Nigeria. Read the reactions below:
Last month, a policeman abducted and raped a
14 yr old girl for 6 days till her vaj ruptured. The NPF in the
state begged the girl’s parents to forgive the man because “they’re
both northerners”
Bobrisky is arrested for being ‘gay’ and suddenly Nigerians know
the law. Kmt.— Flaw. (@goldenwura) November 8, 2017
Same Nigerians celebrating the arrest of
Bobrisky are the ones who search for gay porn the most online.
