The National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC) has taken to social media to portray Nigerian Cross Dresser, Bobrisky, the self-proclaimed transgender as a gay, 9News Nigeria reports.
In a now-deleted Instagram post after public outrage, the Commission shared a graphic image showing Olusegun Runsewe, the former director-general of NCAC, striking Bobrisky with a stick.
The picture described Bobrisky as an “idiot” and emphasized that “Nigeria is not Sodom and Gomorrah,” referencing the biblical cities destroyed for their wickedness and being gays and lesbians.
In the accompanying caption, NCAC said: “We are here to correct our youths when they derail. God bless the Republic of Nigeria”.
The post follows the rearrest of Bobrisky by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
On Thursday evening, the self-proclaimed transgender was dragged out of an airplane by airport officials while attempting to leave the country.
Bobrisky took to Instagram, pleading for help and sharing a video of her injured arm.
The crossdresser has been in the eye of the storm since activist VeryDarkMan shared a purported audio conversation wherein she claimed that she paid some EFCC officials N15 million to drop money laundering charges against her.
Bobrisky denied the recording’s authenticity and threatened legal action against VeryDarkMan.
The social media celebrity was also arrested at the Seme border two weeks ago for allegedly attempting to flee the country. She was transferred to the Lagos FCID in Alagbon for investigation.
How the crossdresser got out of detention, including any potential bail, remains unknown.
Bobrisky, the EFCC, and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) are under investigation by a house of representatives committee over bribery allegations.
In 2019, Runsewe described Bobrisky as a “national disaster” that poses a serious hazard to the youth.
”Bobrisky is a national disaster, an embarrassment to the country, engaging in cultural corruption as a cross-dresser and we have to start to curtail his activities before it gets out of hand,” he had said.
”We will not allow Bobrisky to destroy the future of our youths and the unborn Nigerians.”
