Fayose fumes as EFCC re-arrests Bobrisky in Lagos Airport

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has re-arrested controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, known as Bobrisky, at Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos.

The social media personality was removed from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos and detained by immigration officers late Thursday night while attempting to leave the country for London, the United Kingdom.

The popular crossdresser posted on his Instagram page to alert followers about the arrest, stating that he had sustained injuries during an altercation with the immigration officers.

Bobrisky alleged that the EFCC was responsible for his detention.

He wrote, “Nigerians help me, EFCC just arrested me. I’m badly injured.”

The cross-dresser has been under investigation after an audio recording surfaced in which Bobrisky allegedly claimed he was permitted to serve his six-month jail term outside of Kirikiri prison due to “influential connections”.

Reacting, Isaac Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, blasted the agency for arresting the cross-dresser.

Isaac had earlier posted on his Facebook saying, “See who is on the same flight ✈️ with me to London @bobrisky222.”

A lot of netizens are of the opinion that his post was what alerted the EFCC, leading to Bobrisky’s arrest.

In a video he posted on Facebook on Friday, Isaac said, “I got to London and feel very sad that Bobrisky was arrested. That wasn’t right, it was an abuse of his fundamental human rights and I’m going to personally write a letter to the International Court of Justice. EFCC cleared him and withdrew the charges against him.”
