Bobrisky apologises to Oba of Benin for his rash marriage proposal

Nigerian cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known Bobrisky, has publicly apologised to the Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Ewuare II, for asking the latter to “come and marry” him.

Bobrisky had made this comment in a video while showing his excitement at being in Benin for an event by celebrity interior designer, Ehi Ogbebor.

In the earlier video, Bobrisky had said, “We’re here to disturb Benin. Oba of Benin, Bob has entered. I have entered. Come and marry me.”

However, the Bobrisky’s utterances did not sit well with Benin indigenes, who slammed him for calling out their traditional head.

Bobrisky then took to his Instagram story to apologise to the Oba of Benin, the palace and the people of Benin.

Bobrisky said, “Earlier today, I made a statement about the Oba of Benin and a lot of you didn’t find it funny.

“I know. I’m so sorry. I’m actually a jovial person and I play a lot. I’m here to apologise to the great Oba of Benin and to the palace of Benin, that I am sorry.”
