Isaac Fayose, brother of the former governor of Ekiti State Ayodele Fayose, has said that his picture with crossdresser Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky did not blow the social media personality’s cover.
Mr Fayose stated this in an Instagram video on Friday on arrival in London after social media users accused him of being responsible for Bobrisky’s arrest.
Fayose took a selfie with Bobrisky at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos and posted it on Instagram on Thursday night. He said they were to board the same flight to London.
Early Friday, news broke that EFCC officials forced the crossdresser out of the aircraft. Popular Arsenal FC supporter Kelechi Anyikude was on the airplane as well.
Defending himself, Fayose said Bobrisky is a popular figure and can be easily spotted anywhere, adding that other people took pictures with the online personality.
“I’m not the one that cast Bobrisky. The security agents have their office there at the airport, they saw him. So saying Isaac is the one that cast him…no! Airport no be secret place airport na public place,” he said.
Fayose said Bobrisky’s arrest was a “clear case of abuse”.
“EFCC cleared the guy of money laundering charges 5/6 months ago and they even came to national assembly to tell Nigerians that he was innocent. Why all this harassment? This is very wrong,” he wrote in another post.
