VeryDarkMan has vocally responded to the recent arrest of popular Nigerian crossdresser Bobrisky, sparking widespread attention and debate across social platforms. Bobrisky, known for his flamboyant personality and social media presence, was taken into custody by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on allegations of currency mutilation and mishandling the Nigerian naira, as confirmed by EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale.
The arrest, executed at Bobrisky’s Lagos residence on April 3, has ignited a flurry of reactions, notably from VeryDarkMan, who has been a vocal critic of Bobrisky’s actions and lifestyle. In a statement made via Instagram, VeryDarkMan issued a daring challenge to those close to Bobrisky, questioning the depth and influence of their connections in the face of legal scrutiny. “I want to see where your connection gets to. Your connection will be exhausted,” he declared, emphasizing the seriousness of the allegations against Bobrisky.
Adding to the controversy, VeryDarkMan referenced Bobrisky’s receipt of the Best Dressed Female award at a recent movie premiere, highlighting the crossdresser’s societal impact despite legal challenges. This comment comes in the wake of VeryDarkMan’s own detention, which he attributed to his outspoken demands for Bobrisky’s arrest and alleged protection by influential figures.
In a dramatic stance against what he perceives as a legal inconsistency, VeryDarkMan has threatened to embrace crossdressing himself if Bobrisky’s legal troubles do not lead to a conviction. This statement underscores a broader discourse on the legality and societal acceptance of crossdressing in Nigeria, a topic that has seen varying opinions, including from law enforcement officials. ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Police Public Relations Officer, has stated that crossdressing is not inherently illegal, further complicating the socio-legal landscape.
VeryDarkMan’s reaction and subsequent threats to crossdress in protest have sparked a conversation about the intersection of legal, social, and personal freedoms in Nigeria. As this story develops, it remains to be seen how these tensions will resolve and what impact they will have on the broader discourse surrounding gender expression and legal rights within the country.
Taking to Instagram, VeryDarkMan expressed his views on the arrest, emphasizing the significance of Bobrisky’s actions with the Nigerian currency and issuing a bold statement regarding Bobrisky’s influential connections. “Anyone connected to Bobrisky wouldn’t dare make a call. I want to see where your [his] connection gets to,” he stated, suggesting that further actions would be taken against Bobrisky.
