Bobrisky Falls Ill After Flee Attempt to Seme

Fabenmedia Nigeria reports that controversial crossdresser Okuneye Idris, known as Bobrisky, has reportedly fallen ill while being held at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex in Alagbon, Lagos. After spending a night in police detention, he was urgently transferred to Falomo Police Hospital for medical care.

A source familiar with the situation confirmed that Bobrisky was moved from the FCID to the hospital for treatment. According to the source, he complained of pain in his chest and was transported to the police hospital in Falomo around 2:00 p.m. in an ambulance with the plate number LND 339L. During the transfer, he wore a black gown, covered his face with a shawl, and lay down in the ambulance.

Bobrisky was taken into custody on Monday night by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) after his arrest at the Seme border in Lagos during an alleged attempt to leave the country. Reports suggest that he may remain in detention as detectives continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding his arrest. The FCID is expected to seek a remand order to extend his detention.

A statement from the FCID regarding Bobrisky’s health and situation is anticipated later today. NIS spokesperson Kenneth Udo confirmed the arrest, referring to Bobrisky as “a person of interest.” He also noted that the NIS intercepted him at the Seme border as part of ongoing efforts to secure Nigeria’s borders.
