Eko Hot Blog reports that Nollywood actor Alesh Sanni has blasted his fellow celebrities for their apparent lack of support for Nigerian crossdresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, following his recent imprisonment.
In a post on his Instagram account, Alesh expressed his disappointment with the celebrities who have remained silent about Bobrisky’s ordeal. He noted that these same celebrities had no problem associating with Bobrisky and using his platform for promotion when it was convenient for them, despite his controversial lifestyle.
Bobrisky was recently sentenced to six months in jail without the option of a fine by Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos. He was convicted of Naira mutilation and arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged money laundering.
Alesh Sanni wrote, “Prison is not where someone should stay for even a day. I don’t know why hand are hypocritical, so we call Bobrisky for parties, to promote movies, songs grace our events, and even boost our business with his platform because of the lifestyle he has chosen and all, which we didn’t see as a problem or big deal.”
He further expressed his disappointment, saying, “Now for what so ever reason he’s been arrested and jailed yet we all pretend as if he has never been a part of our lives, why are people this evil? Especially celebrities.. remember this can happen to anyone. My prayers are with you Idris Okuneye.”
Alesh’s scathing remarks shed light on the hypocrisy and lack of solidarity within the Nigerian celebrity community, as they seemingly abandoned Bobrisky in his time of need despite previously benefiting from his popularity and influence.
