The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has re-arrested the controversial social media personality and crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, known as Bobrisky, at Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos.
This arrest occurred just days after Bobrisky was released on bail by Nigeria police authorities.
The dramatic arrest took place Thursday evening as Bobrisky was about to board a flight to London.
Eyewitnesses reported that Nigerian authorities halted the plane just before takeoff and escorted the socialite off in front of other passengers.
The embattled Bobrisky took to Instagram shortly after the incident, he wrote, “Nigerians help me, EFCC just arrested me. I’m badly injured.”
Last week, he was detained by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) at the Seme border while allegedly attempting to escape the country.
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”.
Isaac Fayose, the younger brother to former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, shared photos of himself and Bobrisky at the airport.
However, drama ensued as the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) stormed the Lagos airport to arrest Bobrisky.
The controversial crossdresser, in a post via his Instagram page, cried out to Nigerians for help, stating he was severely injured.
A video of the incident that emerged online shows how Bobrisky was forcefully dragged off the flight by airport security officers.
Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti state governor, says 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 pageon Thursday evening to share photos of himself with the self-proclaimed transgender.
