Nigerian comedian and actor, Bovi Ugboma recently shared the real reason he was banned from entering the United States.
According to him, his infamous clash with a visa-issuing officer at the American embassy was the reason he will not be entering the United States.
During an Instagram live session with his fans at the weekend, Bovi expressed his disappointment at the way the incident was blown out of proportion by the media.
Bovi explained that the visa officer he met at the embassy was very unfriendly, but he did not provide specific details of what transpired between them.
He was embarrassed when the story was blown out of context in the media.
While explaining what transpired, Bovi said he only asked the officer how many visas he had obtained in the last ten years, considering he had always had two American visas in that period.
The officer responded saying, “There is a new sheriff in town,” before pushing back Bovi’s passport and that of his wife.
“The way everything went, it escalated in the media,as different versions of the story was spread by the media,” he said.
