Controversial Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okunleye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has reportedly been arrested on Monday morning while attempting to escape to the Benin Republic.
Social media influencer, Martins Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan, posted this information on his social media.
According to VDM, Bobrisky was apprehended by Nigerian immigration officers while trying to escape amidst an ongoing investigation by the House of Representatives over bribery allegations against officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) involving the crossdresser.
In the video by VDM, he displayed a message he had received, stating, “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 international passport, and he hid in his car. The Nigerian immigration service is currently holding him.”
VDM has since called on both Bobrisky and the Nigerian Immigration Service to address the rumours and clarify the situation.
His arrest occurred just hours before he was scheduled to attend a House of Representatives panel of inquiry meeting regarding allegations against him.
