Eniola Ajao distances self from Bobrisky’s 2024 arrest

Actress and filmmaker Eniola Ajao has distanced herself from the arrest of controversial Nigerian crossdresser, Bobrisky.

Recall that Bobrisky had earlier attributed his problems with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to the award of ‘Best Dressed Female’ received at the actress’ movie premiere.

However, the filmmaker stated that Bobrisky’s arrest was due to alleged financial misconduct, not a personal dispute between them.

Ajao mentioned that she visits him, showing her support during difficult times.

She said, “I gave the best-dressed female award to Bobrisky to promote my movie, but I didn’t know that my colleagues would react negatively to it. I was very sad to see that my colleagues in the movie industry were fighting over the decision, and I later had to call them and explain what my intention was.

”I don’t have any issue with Bobrisky; he knew why he was arrested, and no matter how I try to explain to people on social media, they won’t believe me. I have a very good relationship with Bobrisky, and he knows that I have always been a good friend to him. I wasn’t behind Bobrisky’s arrest; he was arrested because of money, and I always visit him. Many of his friends neglected him when he was arrested, but I stood by him”.
