Alibaba, one of Nigeria’s renowned comedians, has chimed in on Bobrisky’s arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The incident unfolded when Bobrisky, a self-proclaimed transgender and crossdresser, was detained in Lagos on Wednesday night under suspicion of mishandling naira notes. Allegations revolved around Bobrisky’s purported spraying and damaging of currency notes during an event.
In response, Alibaba took to his Instagram page, sharing a picture depicting men spraying and trampling on currency notes at a party. With a touch of sarcasm, the comedian questioned whether the EFCC’s lack of action against these men stemmed from their gender.

Expressing his bewilderment, Alibaba pondered the rationale behind Bobrisky’s arrest, deeming it unjust. Through his sarcastic tone, Alibaba suggested a disproportionate targeting of women by the EFCC, hinting at broader issues of gender bias and unequal treatment within Nigerian society.
“And Bobrisky was arrested for what again? Because they are men? This is not right. The other time a celebrity lady was sentenced for the same thing.
“Now, the EFCC has arrested another lady for the same thing that men get away with. The way we treat women in this country is not good. Mennnnn, I just taya,” Alibaba wrote.
