'Why I was banned from entering America' - Bovi discloses

Nigerian comedian and actor, Bovi Ugboma has disclosed why he cannot go to America.

According to him, he was banned from entering the United States because of his infamous clash with a visa-issuing officer at the American embassy.

He said this during an Instagram live session with his fans at the weekend.

Bovi added that he was embarrassed by how the incident was blown out of proportion by the media.

He further revealed that the visa officer he met at the embassy was very unfriendly, and that 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.

However, the officer reportedly replied, “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. They started to have different versions of the story,” he said.
