Controversial crossdresser Okuneye Idris, popularly known as Bobrisky, is currently held in detention at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex, Alagbon, Lagos. He spent the night in a police cell after being arrested by the Nigeria Immigration Service while attempting to leave the country through the Seme border.

A source familiar with the situation confirmed the arrest, stating that Bobrisky was taken to the FCID for safekeeping as further instructions are awaited regarding his case. The source added, “Immigration officers brought Bobrisky to the FCID around 10 p.m. on Monday, after his arrest at the Seme border.”
