The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has again re-arrested controversial crossdresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, at Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos state.
The arrest came just days after the socialite had been released on bail by Nigerian police authorities.
The arrest unfolded dramatically as Bobrisky attempted to board a flight to London.
According to eyewitnesses, Nigerian authorities halted the aircraft just before takeoff and escorted the socialite out in full view of passengers.
Bobrisky, visibly distressed, took to Instagram shortly after, appealing to the public: “Nigerians help me, EFCC just arrested me. I’m badly injured.”
Bobrisky has faced significant legal and public scrutiny in recent weeks.
Just last week, he was detained by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) at the Seme border, allegedly while trying to flee the country.
This incident has fueled ongoing investigations into claims that he paid EFCC officials ₦15 million to drop money laundering charges against him.
In an audio recording released by Verydarkman, Bobrisky purportedly claimed he was allowed to serve his six-month jail term outside the Kirikiri prison due to “influential connections.”
Bobrisky has since dismissed the recording as “fake”.
