IDRIS IS AFRICA’S ULTIMATE HOTSHOT….

Published

on

Tanzania’s Idris emerged from the Big Brother Hotshots house at the end of Sunday night’s

thrilling 2-hour live extravaganza with USD 300 000 in the bank! He picked up an avalanche

of viewer votes from the continent after 63 days of fun, drama and intrigue to become the

hottest of the Hotshots in the 9th season of the continent’s most epic reality show.

Idris saw off the challenge of 25 other housemates through 9 weeks of extravaganzas,

weekly tasks, ‘freeze’ challenges and even an epic prank in true Big Brother style. After he’d

picked himself up off the floor after the announcement, Idris told IK he was feeling

exhausted after the “long ride”. “Big love to everyone in Africa, I have so much love out

there, I’m going to give back every single day,” said the man from Arusha.

The show kicked off with a show-stopping performance from 17 evicted housemates, who

got the chance to remind the continent of their Hotshots credentials. The glamorous finale

was a star-studded affair, also featuring performances by the One Campaign Artists, Nigerian

star M.I. and South Africa’s Unathi Msengana. Even the Top 8 housemates got in on the

action, with a performance of their own to sum up their time in the house!

IK took viewers back through all 63 days of Big Brother Hotshots, with reminders of the

Hotshots’ stellar performances during the extravaganza tasks, the tender moments – and

the explosive ones – they all shared, and all the fun they had learning about each other’s

cultures, countries and personalities.

Evictions were never far from everyone’s minds, though, and when the

SizweNtsalubaGobodo auditor delivered a bulging envelope to IK on stage, he got down to

business. Over the course of the show, he evicted Butterphly, M’am Bea, JJ, Sipe, Nhlanhla

and Macky2 from the house in pairs, leaving Idris and Tayo to count their lucky stars as the

rest of the Hotshots looked on enviously from the stage.

As the time for the winner announcement drew near, Big Brother summoned the duo to the

Diary Room for a final few words of encouragement before sending them out of the house

to join IK on stage, through a curtain of fireworks.

Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu, M-Net’s Regional Director for West Africa was delighted with the way

Big Brother Hotshots played out. “The behind-the-scenes team overcame some astounding

obstacles to get this season of Big Brother Africa on-air – and they delivered a show that was

bigger, better, more dramatic and more entertaining than ever before,” she said.

“Congratulations to Idris on being named the winner of Big Brother Hotshots – and thank

you to the rest of the housemates for providing the entire continent with 63 days of

phenomenal entertainment”.

Sivan Pillay, Managing Director of Endemol South Africa said: “We are very proud to have

produced another great season of Big Brother Africa. Despite the devastating setback of the

fire, it has been a monumental achievement to entertain the continent with our broadcast

partner Multichoice”.

We Arrested Bobrisky After Refusing To Honour Invitation To Name Officials He Allegedly Bribed, Says EFCC

Published

By

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has disclosed what led to the arrest of controversial crossdresser Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky.

Society Reporters had earlier reported that Bobrisky was arrested on Thursday night at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos State.

He was arrested while attempting to flee Nigeria for London amid allegations of bribery against him.

He was later transferred from Lagos to Abuja for proper interrogation.

Explaining the reasons behind the arrest in a telephone conversation with SaharaReporters on Friday morning, the spokesman for the Commission, Mr Dele Oyewale, said Bobrisky was arrested because he refused to honour an invitation sent to him.

The EFCC official said the crossdresser was arrested in connection with the allegation of bribery against him.

“We arrested him last night and we took him to Abuja because our team investigators are in Abuja,” the EFCC spokesman said.

He continued: “He was trying to run away from mentioning those he said collected bribe from him. We have sent him invitation but he refused to honour our invitation and he was trying to leave the country.

“This was why we arrested him. We want him to come and mention the names of the official involved in the bribery but he has not shown up.”

When SaharaReporters enquired whether Bobrisky will be charged with bribery by the EFCC, Mr Oyewale said he did not have any information regarding that yet.

In October, we reported that Bobrisky had been arrested while attempting to escape to the Benin Republic.

we also reported that Bobrisky was arrested by the Customs service at the Seme-Nigerian border during a passport check.

His arrest at the border came a few hours before he was scheduled to attend a Senate panel of inquiry meeting regarding allegations against him.
