Controversial Nigerian crossdresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Dockaysworld gathered that the crossdresser was apprehended at the Lagos airport while attempting to board a flight to London.
Bobrisky revealed this incident on his Instagram story, while sharing a brief video in which he claimed to be injured.
In his post, Bobrisky wrote, “Nigerians help me, EFCC just arrested me. I’m badly injured.”

This incident comes barely few weeks after he was arrested at the Benin Republic Immigration Service at the popular Seme border during passport checks.
It was learnt that the embattled crossdresser was trying to leave Nigerian unnoticed when he was arrested.
The controversy surrounding Bobrisky began in April 2024 when he was sentenced to six months in prison by the Federal High Court in Lagos for naira abuse.
Although he was officially incarcerated at Kirikiri Prison, reports emerged later alleging that Bobrisky spent only three weeks in the facility before being discreetly moved to a private location.
This prompted widespread speculation that his release and special treatment were facilitated through bribery, with accusations of a N15m payment made to officials to secure his transfer and preferential conditions.
The situation escalated in late September when a social media influencer, VeryDarkMan, posted an audio recording allegedly involving Bobrisky.
In the leaked recording, Bobrisky purportedly claimed that music artiste, Falz, and his father, human rights lawyer Femi Falana, had approached him during his imprisonment, seeking N10m to secure a presidential pardon.
In response, Falana and Falz issued a cease-and-desist letter on October 16, 2024, demanding a retraction and public apology for what they termed defamatory statements.
Bobrisky, however, denied making the claims, stating that he was not responsible for the leaked content and urging the Falanas to hold VDM accountable instead.
