Controversial Nigerian crossdresser, Bobrisky, has joined voices across the world in mourning the victims of the horrific massacre in Benue State, where over 200 people were reportedly killed during a deadly night raid on Yelewata community, Guma Local Government Area.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Bobrisky criticized the Nigerian government for its inaction and lack of urgency in addressing the escalating violence in the region.
“Senators and House of Reps members didn’t call an urgent meeting over the killings in Benue. But they can call one when it’s about Bobrisky. Shame!! Shame!! Shame!!” she wrote.

A follower, @Orikri_Ogheneove, reacted to the post, urging Bobrisky to return to Nigeria:
“Bob, this is the time we need you in Nigeria. Please come back.”
But Bobrisky was quick to shut down the suggestion, responding:
“Come where? Today I confirmed you don’t like me. God forbid. I dash you people this country. If you want my passport, I can dash it to you too.”
The attack reportedly occurred around 10:00 p.m. when suspected armed herdsmen stormed Yelewata, opened fire on sleeping residents, and set houses ablaze. The tragic incident left over 200 people dead, with many others injured or still missing.
In response, angry youths staged a massive protest on Sunday, blocking the Abuja–Makurdi highway.
Dressed in black and carrying palm fronds and placards, they demanded immediate government intervention and justice for the slain residents.
