The Benin Republic Immigration Service has reportedly arrested controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye popularly known as Bobrisky.

It was gathered that the Nigerian crossdresser was apprehended during passport checks at Seme Border.

According to a source at the Nigerian-Benin Republic border, “He was arrested at midnight and detained until this morning. Currently, he is being transferred to the Lagos zone of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) in Ikeja.”
