Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Bobrisky criticised Nigerians who attacked socialite KC Luxury following his arrest by the NDLEA over an alleged international drug network.
Bobrisky accused some of KC Luxury’s former supporters of hypocrisy for turning against him after the agency seized 184.5kg of hard drugs worth about $27.7 million from a Lagos courier firm.
He also questioned the loyalty of KC Luxury’s associates, saying genuine friends could condemn alleged actions while still standing by someone during difficult times.
