Breaking: Bobrisky arrested at Seme border

Controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly called Bobrisky, was reportedly arrested by operatives of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) at the Seme border while attempting to flee Nigeria to the neighbouring Benin Republic.

Social media activist, Martin Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), stated this via an Instagram post on Monday.

VDM stated that Bobrisky was arrested by immigration officers while trying to escape amid an ongoing investigation by the House of Representatives over bribery allegations against officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) involving the crossdresser.

VDM in the video displayed a message he had received, stating, “Bobrisky was arrested this morning at Seme border post on his way to escape to Benin Republic. He sent someone to help him sign his international passport, and he hid in his car. The Nigerian immigration service is currently holding him.”

VDM has since called on both Bobrisky and the Nigerian Immigration Service to address the rumours and clarify the situation.

The crossdresser’s alleged arrest came amid his scheduled appearance before a legislative panel at the House of Representatives.

Bobrisky had previously been invited in connection to leaked audio recordings, where he was alleged ti have admitted to bribing his way out of prison with the assistance of a powerful “Godfather” and having a money laundering case against him dropped by EFCC.
