Officers of the Nigeria Immigration Service have arrested a controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, at the Seme border, a town near Badagry in Lagos State.
He was said to be on his way out of the country to evade investigation. He attempted to flee Nigeria to the Benin Republic.
Social media activist, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, disclosed this via a post on his Instagram page on Monday.
VeryDarkMan claimed that Bobrisky’s arrest was linked to his attempt to evade an ongoing probe by the House of Representatives.
The influencer had been invited to answer questions over the viral leaked audio recordings in which Bobrisky allegedly admitted to bribing officials of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) to avoid spending time in a Correctional centre.
The recordings also implicated Bobrisky in a money laundering case that was allegedly dropped by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in controversial circumstances.
“Bobrisky has been arrested this morning at the Seme border while trying to enter Benin Republic to escape the current investigation by the House of Reps. He is allegedly being held by Nigerian immigration…Let’s wait for Bob to debunk this. Cho Cho Cho,” Verydarkman wrote.
