Fleeing Bobrisky arrested again, removed from Amsterdam-bound KLM flight

Controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has once again, gotten into trouble with Nigerian authorities after he was arrested at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos.

He forcefully removed from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight and detained by immigration officers late on Thursday night while attempting to flee the country.

According to eyewitnesses, the arrest drama unfolded when Bobrisky attempted to board the KLM flight to London, and suddenly, officials of the Immigration service halted the aircraft just before takeoff and removed the crossdresser in full view of other passengers.

Ripples Nigeria had reported how Bobrisky was arrested on October 22, by Immigration officials at the Sème border while allegedly attempting to flee the country to Benin Republic.

He was detained, charged to court and granted bail last week but was once again nabbed while attempting to flee the country again.

The transgender who posted the news of his arrest on his Instagram page on Thursday night, stated that he had sustained injuries during an altercation with the immigration officers.

“Nigerians help me, EFCC just arrested me. I’m badly injured,” he wrote.

This came after Bobrisky shaded VDM following his detention by the police over alleged impersonation in a veiled message on Thursday moments after photos of him at the airport enroute London surfaced online.

“He who laughs last, laughs best”, Bobrisky had written.
