EFCC Re-Arrests Bobrisky On London-Bound Plane, Sparks Drama

Nigerian social media influencer and crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has taken to social media to express distress after being apprehended by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at Lagos’ Murtala Mohammed International Airport.

The dramatic arrest took place Thursday evening as Bobrisky was about to board a flight to London.

This was after Isaac Fayose, brother of former Ekiti state governor, shared pictures of himself and Bobrisky, claiming they boarded the same flight to London.

Eyewitnesses reported that Nigerian authorities halted the plane just before takeoff and escorted the socialite off in front of other passengers.

The embattled Bobrisky took to Instagram shortly after the incident, he wrote, “Nigerians help me, EFCC just arrested me. I’m badly injured.”

Last week, he was detained by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) at the Seme border while allegedly attempting to escape the country.

The cross-dresser has been under investigation after an audio recording surfaced in which Bobrisky allegedly claimed he was permitted to serve his six-month jail term outside of Kirikiri prison due to “influential connections”.
