Eniola Ajao’s statement is a strong attempt to set the record straight amidst all the buzz and rumors surrounding Bobrisky’s arrest after her movie premiere — and honestly, it sounds like she’s trying to distance herself from any idea that she set him up.
- She confirmed that awarding Bobrisky “Best Dressed Female” at her movie premiere was a deliberate publicity move — meant to stir conversation and draw attention to her film.
- What she didn’t expect was the backlash from her industry colleagues, many of whom took offense to the decision — possibly over gender politics, tradition, or just clout-related tension.
- Then came the twist: Bobrisky’s arrest shortly after the event. That coincidence sparked wild rumors that Eniola or others in the film industry may have played a role in tipping off authorities.
But Eniola is now clarifying:
“I wasn’t behind Bobrisky’s arrest… he was arrested because of money.”
That’s likely a reference to the charges Bobrisky was reportedly facing — related to naira mutilation and financial misconduct, not anything connected to her directly.
She also made a point to say she visited him during his detention, and didn’t abandon him like some other friends allegedly did. That’s a big statement in a climate where loyalty in showbiz is often questioned.
In summary, she’s saying:
- The award was for promo, not a setup
- The arrest was unrelated to her
- She still supports Bobrisky as a friend
Kind of shows the behind-the-scenes drama that happens when celebrity moves get misinterpreted in the court of public opinion.
