Crossdresser, Mr Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, has been arrested by operatives of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) at the Seme border while attempting to flee Nigeria to the neighbouring Benin Republic.

The arrest was disclosed by social media activist, VeryDarkMan, who claimed Bobrisky was taken into custody by Nigerian immigration officers while trying to evade the ongoing investigation by the House of Representatives.

The crossdresser had claimed that the officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and Nigerian Correctional Service of collected bribe from him.

Verydarkman, while confirming his arrest, displayed a message he had received, saying, “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 passport, and he hid in his car. The Nigerian immigration service is currently holding him.”

VeryDarkMan has called on both Bobrisky and the Nigerian Immigration Service to clarify the situation.

Bobrisky refused to appear after being invited to a panel at the House of Representatives to answer to viral leaked audios where he admitted to bribing his way out of prison with the help of his God-father, including having his money laundering case dropped by the anti-graft agency.

The Immigration Service has not addressed the alleged arrest.
