A trending video on X shows social media personality Okuneye Idris, popularly known as Bobrisky, being removed from a KLM flight bound for Amsterdam on Thursday night.
Earlier, social commentator Isaac Fayose, brother of former Ekiti State Governor, shared a photo of himself with Bobrisky as they boarded the same flight to London.
“Look who’s on the same flight with me to London, @Bobrisky222,” Fayose shared on his Instagram handle.
However, in a viral video seen on X, Bobrisky was later removed from the flight, reportedly flying to London, by airport officials.
After he was forcefully removed, the popular cross-dresser posted on his Instagram page to alert followers about the development.
Bobrisky alleged that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission was responsible for his detention.
He wrote, “Nigerians help me, EFCC just arrested me. I’m badly injured.”
This latest development follows an incident on October 22, when Bobrisky was reportedly intercepted at the Sème border while allegedly attempting to leave the country.
The cross-dresser has been under investigation after an audio recording surfaced in which he allegedly claimed he was allowed to serve his six-month prison sentence outside Kirikiri Prison due to “influential connections.”
The controversy began in April 2024 when Bobrisky was sentenced to six months in prison by the Federal High Court in Lagos for naira abuse.
Director of Public Affairs for the EFCC, Wilson Uwajaren, revealed on Thursday that the investigation into Bobrisky’s allegations is ongoing.
Uwajaren, while outlining the commission’s achievements under Ola Olukoyede, noted that Bobrisky could face new charges if his allegations against the EFCC prove false.
In a voice recording shared by social critic Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, Bobrisky allegedly claimed to have paid EFCC officers N15 million to have money laundering charges dropped.
Though the EFCC denied these claims, it formed a committee to investigate them. Uwajaren warned that providing false information to the EFCC—or making baseless accusations—could lead to serious legal consequences.
He said, “There is a portion of the EFCC Act that states if you give false information, you can be tried, but in his case, it is an allegation against the agency. I don’t want to preempt the panel investigating the matter. Once we are through with the investigation, we will definitely brief you on the outcome.”
