The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently revealed the reasons behind the arrest of the controversial Nigerian crossdresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky. His arrest took place on Thursday night at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos State. According to reports, Bobrisky was detained while attempting to leave Nigeria for London, with accusations of bribery linked to his name.
After his initial arrest, Bobrisky was transferred from Lagos to the EFCC’s headquarters in Abuja for thorough questioning. This move came after he allegedly disregarded an invitation from the EFCC. The agency stated that he had been avoiding responsibility in revealing individuals who reportedly accepted bribes from him.
In a phone call with SaharaReporters, EFCC spokesman Mr. Dele Oyewale confirmed that the crossdresser was taken into custody after failing to respond to the EFCC’s invitation. Oyewale explained that the arrest was intended to ensure Bobrisky’s cooperation with ongoing investigations. “We arrested him last night and took him to Abuja because our team of investigators are based there,” he said. The spokesman further noted that Bobrisky’s attempt to leave Nigeria was seen as an attempt to escape accountability, prompting immediate action from the EFCC.
When asked if Bobrisky would face formal charges for bribery, Mr. Oyewale stated that he could not provide specific details regarding possible charges.
This is not the first time Bobrisky has faced travel-related legal troubles. Last October, he was similarly detained by Nigerian Customs officers at the Seme border while attempting to travel to the Benin Republic. The arrest happened shortly before he was expected to appear before a Senate panel investigating allegations against him.
