VIDEO: Sh@meful: Amid Of Reps’ Summons Bobrisky Arrested, Forcefully Ejected Off-plane, While Trying To Escapes
Controversial Nigerian crossdresser and social media influencer Idris Okunleye, better known as Bobrisky, has been arrested by security operatives at the Lagos Airport.
The crossdresser was arrested while attempting to flee Nigeria for London amid allegations of bribery against him.
Social commentator Isaac Fayose, the brother of former Ekiti State Governor, on Thursday, shared a photo of himself and Bobrisky as they boarded the same flight to London.
“Look who’s on the same flight with me to London, @Bobrisky222,” Fayose shared on his Instagram handle.
In a viral video seen on X, Bobrisky was later removed from flight, reportedly flying to London, by airport officials and arrested on Thursday night.
He later claimed his arrest was carried out by operatives of the Economic Financial Crimes Commission.
“I’m badly injured, Nigerians help me efcc just arrested me,” he wrote on his Instagram story while sharing a short video of injury.
In October, Ibom Focus reported that Bobrisky had just been arrested while attempting to escape to the Benin Republic.
Ibom Focus had reported that Bobrisky was arrested by the agency at the Seme-Nigerian border during a passport check.
His arrest occurred just hours before he was scheduled to attend a Senate panel of inquiry meeting regarding allegations against him.
Reports indicate that Bobrisky was trying to evade questioning by the Senate.
