LAGOS, Nigeria(VOICE OF NAIJA) – Controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky has been released on bail by The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
On Thursday night, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, Bobrisky was stopped and removed from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight while attempting to leave the country for London, UK.
He quickly turned to his social media to alert his followers about the arrest, stating that he sustained injuries to his body during the altercation.
“Nigerians, help me, EFCC just arrested me. I’m badly injured” he wrote.
Eventually, he was taken to the headquarters of the EFCC in Abuja, where he was interrogated based on the allegations he made against the commission on bribery.

Another controversial social critic, VeryDarkMan (aka Martins Otse) shared a voice note via his social media where Bobrisky allegedly said he bribed EFCC officers with N15m to drop money laundering charges against him.
In light of this, Dele Oyewale EFCC’s spokesperson confirmed Bobrisky’s release on Saturday but declined further comments.
Regardless , a source conversant with the matter said, “He denied everything about releasing money to any official as a bribe to drop the money laundering charges against him. He denied it in his statement. He said the fellow who posted the voice note should come over to justify it. He said nobody requested money from him in the EFCC and he didn’t give anyone anything.”
Sunday PUNCH gathered that Bobrisky perfected his bail late Friday night and was released.
