Nigerian crossdresser and social media personality Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, was reportedly arrested by officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday night at Lagos’ Murtala Muhammed International Airport.
Gists9ja reports that the arrest occurred while Bobrisky was preparing to board a KLM flight bound for Amsterdam.
According to eyewitness accounts, Nigerian authorities halted the KLM flight shortly before departure to remove Bobrisky from the aircraft. After boarding, immigration officials and airport security officers arrived to escort him off the plane, reportedly leading to a tense situation.
Sources suggest that Bobrisky resisted their efforts, resulting in a struggle between him and the security operatives, which ended with him being forcibly removed from the flight.
Following the incident, Bobrisky took to his Instagram page to inform his followers of the arrest and the injuries he claimed to have sustained. In a post, he appealed for support, writing, “Nigerians help me, EFCC just arrested me, I’m badly injured.”
Bobrisky’s detention at the airport and the circumstances surrounding the altercation have sparked widespread discussion, with many questioning the reasons behind the arrest and the specific allegations involved. So far, authorities have not publicly disclosed the details of the charges against him, leaving fans and the general public speculating about the cause of the arrest and his reported injuries.
