A social media personality and crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky is currently in the custody of the Economic and Financial crimes Commission, EFCC in Abuja, the nation’s capital
Bobrisky was re-arrested by operatives of the EFCC in Lagos. He was picked up from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport and detained by Immigration officers while attempting to leave the country for 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.
However, according to sources, Bobrisky’s arrest was due to his failure to honour several invitations by the Commission following his allegations against anti-graft agency.

Bobrisky had, in a voice note shared by a social critic, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, allegedly said he bribed EFCC officers with N15 million to drop money laundering charges against him.
Although the EFCC denied the allegations, it set up a committee to investigate the matter and invited Bobrisky for clarifications; but the popular crossdresser failed to honour the several invitations including that of the House of Representatives Committee probing the matter.
At a media briefing, the EFCC’s Director of Public Affairs, Wilson Uwajaren, had hinted that Bobrisky could face a fresh charge from the Commission if the allegations against the EFCC were false.
