Sources: How Immigration officers foiled Bobrisky’s attempt to flee Nigeria

More details have emerged on how popular cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, well known as Bobrisky, was arrested by the Nigeria Immigration Service officers at the Seme order on Monday, October 21, 2024.

Credible sources disclosed that Bobrisky arrived at the departure axis of the Seme border in a black SUV Mercedes Benz at about 1:30 a.m. on Monday.

According to the sources, Bobrisky was first stopped by Port Health officials on duty but the driver didn’t stop until he got to the Immigration checkpoint.

A source said: “Idris handed over his passport to the driver for stamping at the Nigeria Immigration Service post.

“The immigration surveillance officer, identified as Yusuf, while going through the passport, detected that the person inside the vehicle was Bobrisky.

“He called the most senior officer on duty to the scene, and they secretly invited the Controller of Immigration, Seme Command, Muhammad Adamu.

“The surveillance officer then went back to invite Bobrisky for capturing in order to stamp the passport.

“On getting to the surveillance unit for capturing, he was taken to the controller’s office for questioning.”

Another source revealed that Bobrisky’s lawyer later came to Seme to inquire why he was arrested by the Immigration officers.

“Bobrisky stayed inside the controller’s office until 4:00 p.m. when he was taken to Lagos State Command of NIS for further investigation,” the source told NAN.

The NIS confirmed the arrest of Bobrisky at the Seme border on Monday.

The NIS Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Udo, said Bobrisky was arrested because he “is a person of interest over recent issues of public concern”.

“In keeping with its commitment to securing the borders, NIS intercepted Bobrisky at the Seme border over an attempt to exit the country,” Udo stated.

He added that Bobrisky was undergoing interrogation and would be handed over to the appropriate authorities for further action.
