Popular Nigerian crossdresser, Okuneye Idris, widely known as Bobrisky, finds himself at the center of a legal storm after being detained at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex, Alagbon, Lagos State.
Following his arrest by officials of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) at the Seme border, Bobrisky spent Monday night behind bars, with further legal directives pending.
A Source revealed that the controversial social media personality was apprehended while attempting to leave Nigeria and was taken to the FCID by immigration officials.
The source said, “Bobrisky was brought to the FCID, Alagbon, around 10 p.m. on Monday. Immigration arrested him at Seme Boarder and brought him for safekeeping.
“He is in detention at the FCID, Alagbon. He was arrested on Sunday, detained overnight, and taken to the FCID, Alagbon, around 10 pm on Monday. He is still at the FCID.”
Speaking on the matter, Mayegun Aminat, the spokesperson for the FCID, confirmed Bobrisky’s detention and indicated that efforts were underway to secure a remand order, which would extend his stay in custody.
Meanwhile, Kenneth Udo, the spokesperson for the NIS, stated that the crossdresser’s interception aligns with the agency’s commitment to border security and that he would be handed over to the appropriate authorities for further questioning.
While Bobrisky has long been a figure of controversy and public fascination, this recent development marks a significant escalation in his legal issues, with the outcome of the ongoing investigation eagerly awaited by his supporters and critics alike.
