Controversial activist VeryDarkMan has responded to the arrest of crossdresser Bobrisky by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Bobrisky was allegedly detained on April 3 at his residence in Pinnock Estate, Lagos State.
According to Dele Oyewale, the spokesman for the EFCC, Bobrisky was apprehended on charges related to currency mutilation and improper handling of the Nigerian currency.
In response, VeryDarkMan issued a challenge to anyone affiliated with Bobrisky, urging them to aid in facilitating his arrest.
He said, “Anyone connected to Bobrisky wouldn’t dare make a call. I want to see where your [his] connection gets to. I want to know your [his] connection. Your connection will be exhausted. He was arrested for a simple thing. He was abusing the naira, spraying the naira, stepping on the naira. Another petition will still be filed.”
VeryDarkMan also commented on Bobrisky receiving the Best Dressed Female award at Eniola Ajao’s movie premiere, purportedly while VeryDarkMan was in police custody.
This response from the activist comes shortly after he pledged to adopt a crossdressing persona if Bobrisky remains unarrested.
In a recent interview, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Police Public Relations Officer, clarified that the police are unable to apprehend crossdressers as cross-dressing itself is not illegal in Nigeria.
Expressing his reaction in a video message shared on his Instagram page, VeryDarkMan stated that since the police consider crossdressing legal, he intends to become a crossdresser and utilize the female restroom.
He said, “When I came out of detention, I read somewhere that it was Tonto Dikeh who detained me. She can never detain me, I don’t care about her connection. The truth is that I was detained for the video I made calling for Bobrisky’s arrest and my claims that he was being protected by gay lawmakers. My detention is just a little sacrifice. They will still arrest me for my subsequent videos.
“Since the police say crossdressing is legal, I will soon start crossdressing. I will give them one week after I drop my petition against Bobrisky. If Bobrisky is not arrested, I will become a crossdresser and use the female restroom.”
