Nigerian cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, spent Monday night in detention at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) annexe in Alagbon, Lagos. Bobrisky was apprehended by officers of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) while attempting to flee the country through Seme Border around 1:30 a.m. on Monday.
Reports suggest Bobrisky may remain in detention for further investigation as detectives continue to probe the circumstances of his arrest. A formal statement from the FCID is expected to clarify the situation.
NIS spokesperson Kenneth Udo confirmed the arrest, describing Bobrisky as “a person of interest” and stating, “In keeping with its commitment to securing the borders, the NIS intercepted Okuneye at the Seme Border over an attempt to exit the country. He is undergoing interrogation and will be handed over to appropriate authorities for further action.”
