Bobrisky allegedly arrested upon return to Nigeria

Controversial Nigerian socialite Bobrisky has announced that he was arrested by immigration officials shortly after returning to Nigeria, just five months after leaving the country to focus on his mental health and well-being.

He took to Instagram on April 1, 2025, to share the news, stating that he was detained without being informed of the reason for his arrest.

“Guys, I have just been arrested by immigration in Nigeria. I don’t know what I did,” he wrote.

Bobrisky’s arrest follows his public revelation about leaving Nigeria to prioritize his health. In a previous interview, he explained that the constant online backlash and personal struggles had severely impacted his mental and physical well-being, prompting him to relocate.

In November 2024, he stated, “Yes, I’m here to confirm that I’m out of Nigeria temporarily… I need to attend to my sanity and my health. A few Nigerian security agencies tried everything to frustrate me, but I have God on my side. Imagine trying to buy a business class ticket three times, but only one was successful. @kIm, I hope you guys refund me for the two I didn’t use. I know it’s not your fault, but it’s fine.”

The exact circumstances of his arrest remain unclear, and authorities have yet to provide an official statement regarding the incident.

 The news has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some supporters expressing concern while others speculate about potential legal troubles he may be facing.
