The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has confirmed the arrest of controversial crossdresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky.
Recall that social media influencer Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, earlier today alerted the public that Bobrisky had been arrested while attempting to escape to Benin Republic.
Bobrisky’s arrest reportedly occurred just hours before he was scheduled to attend a Senate panel of inquiry meeting regarding allegations against him.
Confirming the situation, NIS, in a brief statement issued on Monday by its spokesperson, DCI KT Udo, said they arrested Bobrisky while he was attempting to flee the country via Seme Border.
The statement reads, “In keeping with its commitment to securing the borders, Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) intercepted Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, otherwise known as Bobrisky, at the Seme Border over an attempt to Exit the Country.
“The Service wishes to inform the public that OKUNEYE IDRIS is a person of interest over recent issues of public concern. He is undergoing interrogation and will be handed over to the appropriate Authorities for further action.
“The Service assures the public that it will continue to be civil and professional in its statutory responsibility of manning the Country’s Borders.”
