Popular Nigerian crossdresser, Okuneye Idris, known as Bobrisky, has reportedly fallen ill while in detention at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex in Alagbon, Lagos. Following a night in police custody, Bobrisky was rushed to Falomo Police Hospital for medical attention due to complaints of severe pain.
According to sources, Bobrisky, who had been arrested by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) at the Seme border in Lagos while allegedly attempting to leave the country, complained of “breast pain” and was transferred to the hospital in an ambulance around 2:00 p.m. He was dressed in a black gown and covered his face with a shawl.
Bobrisky’s arrest has raised speculation about the reasons behind his detention, with authorities reportedly continuing their investigation. The FCID is expected to seek a remand order to prolong his detention while further details of the case unfold.
NIS spokesperson Kenneth Udo confirmed the arrest, describing Bobrisky as a “person of interest” intercepted as part of the agency’s border security efforts. More information from the FCID regarding the case is anticipated soon.
