EFCC arrests Bobrisky, alleging currency abuse as the reason behind his detention.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has officially confirmed the arrest of Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, a renowned crossdresser.
Contrary to earlier reports, which suggested Bobrisky’s arrest had not occurred, recent developments indicate otherwise according to our Correspondents.
Reportedly apprehended at Pinnock Estate in Lagos State on April 3, 2024, at 3 p.m., Bobrisky’s arrest has sparked widespread attention.
VerseNews reports that Bobrisky’s arrest was confirmed by a spokesperson for EFCC, Dele Oyewale.
Oyewale asserted that Bobrisky was arrested and detained for alleged currency mutilation and abuse of the Nigerian currency, the Naira.
As per Oyewale’s statement, Bobrisky is currently being held in EFCC’s facility in Lagos and is expected to face charges in court imminently.
This Online News Platform gathered that the development unfolds amidst recent discussions surrounding the legal implications of cross-dressing in Nigeria.
Just two days prior to Bobrisky’s arrest, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, a police spokesperson, had shed light on the complexities surrounding the arrest of individuals like Bobrisky and James Brow
Adejobi explained that while cross-dressing is not explicitly criminalized in Nigeria, the legal landscape concerning LGBTQ rights remains nuanced.
In March 2024, Bobrisky had vehemently defended his choice to embrace cross-dressing amid criticism. Taking to Instagram, he urged critics to respect individual choices and emphasized the importance of personal autonomy.
Despite ongoing debates, Bobrisky’s arrest underscores the ongoing scrutiny faced by individuals who defy traditional gender norms in Nigeria.
