The 28th birthday bash for Bobrisky, Nigeria’s crossdresser and transgender celebrity has been disrupted by the Nigerian police and guests dispersed, Instablog9ja reported.
A video of the event centre in Lekki showed several police vehicles stationed around the centre.
Bobrisky reportedly disappeared from the event. The police have not stated why the event was stopped and who ordered them to do so.

“Ï heard someone in government talked about me a few days ago. Please tell him I’m waiting for him. It’s then he will know that I roll with his bosses in government, not someone at his level. So he left serious issues in Nigeria to address Bobrisky. But I popular sha…”
Calls to Runsewe’s number did not go through on Saturday, to find out whether he ordered the police clampdown.
