Bobrisky reveals why he was deported from Dubai

Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju popularly known as Bobrisky, has finally admitted that he was deported from Dubai because to the mismatching look on his passport.

Bobrisky revealed this at Toke Makinwa’s show that he had worn a lot of makeup when he arrived to Immigration, which caused the authorities to question his identification.

He said that he was sent back to Nigeria upon his arrival at the Dubai airport owing to the country’s Islamic regulations, which forbid cross-dressing.

Despite having travelled to the United Arab Emirates on several occasions, he was deported on that particular day, which happened to be a Jumʿah day.

“The last time I went to Dubai, I was sent back to Nigeria. I have been to there so many times. But that one was their prayer; I think one of their special days. It happened to be on Friday, they go to the mosque. They are holy so extra on that day. When I got there, the camera did not accept my face. You know me na, I was on makeup, I want to brag first class, I want to talk ‘oh! guys, I’ve been to Dubai. Your mummy is in first class’.

“So, I got to the Immigration where you are going to do everything. They saw my passport, they looked at my face. They said ‘face camera’. And I faced the camera. It rejected my face several times. They [Immigrantion officers] said ‘are you sure you’re the same person?’ And I said ‘yes’.

The man looked at me, he said ‘Idris, you are a Muslim?’. I said ‘yes’. He looked at my passport. He was confused.

“So, we went to one of their private offices. And they said ‘are you trans or..’ I said ‘well, I used to be a guy’. And they said ‘oh! on a normal day if it is not Friday’ they would have just allowed me in. But because it was Friday, jumʿah day, they said ‘no, they can’t allow me in.”
