The month of November saw quite a number of Nigerian celebrities visiting the City of Gold, Dubai, and even peppering their haters with beautiful photos and videos from the city. Various Nigerian celebs visited the city for different reasons including attending the One Africa Fest as well as the Bamteddy wedding. Well, two stars whose visit to the city caused a lot of stir are celebrity besties, Tonto Dikeh and Bobrisky. Their fun trip took another turn after Tonto was arrested in Dubai after she had an altercation with security personnel and hurled insulting words at them.
After the arrest was made, there were speculations that Tonto was deported from the city. Well, her best friend, Bobrisky posted a video of the actress to dispel the rumours. In the video, Tonto made sure to show that she is still in Dubai. More details about Tonto’s detention has emerged after a close source to the actress revealed in an interview with Kemi Ashefon that the mother of one is still in Dubai. According to the source, Bobrisky’s post about Tonto is just damage control to make fans think everything is well.
The source said: “First, Tonto is not the type to use that kind of video to debunk allegations of detention and deportation. She would have used a more beautiful background wearing gorgeous clothes and displaying affluence. That was a damage control video she shared through Bobrisky. Tonto was looking like a tart! She wasn’t wearing make-up and looking like a prisoner in one small room! Anyways, in the video, there was no address about or her arrest. The Tonto we knew would have tore whoever wrote that story into shreds.” Also, Bobrisky has now shared another video on his page showing Tonto Dike telling her fans to follow her new Instagram page, @king wigocharity. The actress explained that her old account is fine but she left her password in her office in Nigeria and cannot access the page. Kemi Ashefon’s source also commented on this.
