Photo: Bobrisky injured as EFCC detains him at airport en route to London

Operatives of the Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Thursday night arrested controversial Nigerian crossdresser Idris Okuneye, a.k.a Bobrisky, on his way to London.

NaijaOnPoint.com.ng (NOP) reports that the male Barbie’s arrest comes shortly after Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti state governor, disclosed on Instagram that he and crossdresser Bobrisky “boarded the same flight to London”.

Isaac, who had previously faulted Bobrisky’s detention by the police, took to his Instagram page on Thursday evening to share photos of himself with the self-proclaimed transgender.

“See who is on the same flight with me to London @bobrisky222,” he wrote.

However, in a recent post, Bobrisky, who had been inactive on social media due to recent detention, cried out to Nigerians for help, revealing that he had been arrested by the anti-graft agency and badly injured.

“Nigerians help me efcc just arrested me, i am badly injured,’’ he said.

NOP recalls that the crossdresser was arrested by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) at the Seme border during an alleged attempt to flee the country.

The social media celebrity was later transferred to the Lagos FCID in Alagbon for further investigation.

The current status of Bobrisky’s detention, including any potential bail, remains unknown.

Bobrisky, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) are under investigation by a house of representatives committee over bribery allegations.

Her ordeal started after VeryDarkMan shared a purported audio conversation wherein the crossdresser claimed that she paid some EFCC officials N15 million to drop money laundering charges against her.

In the recording, she also claimed that she spent her six-month jail term in an apartment rather than Kirikiri prison due to the influence of “my godfather”.
