Nigerian crossdresser Idris Olanrewaju Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, has been rearrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) following his recent release from detention.
Recall Bobrisky was arrested by the Nigerian Immigration Service over allegations of attempting to flee Nigeria to evade bribery investigations.
Earlier this week, the crossdresser was released from detention, and he took to Instagram to share his new look, accompanied by a bold assertion.
However, in the late hours of October 31, 2024, the socialite boarded a plane to London after being granted bail following his arrest at the Seme border.
News of Bobrisky’s trip to London was posted online by netizens on the same flight as him, including online personality Isaac Fayose.
They claimed the flight was delayed because Bobrisky was dragged off the plane and his bags offloaded.
In a series of Instagram posts at the early hours of Friday, November 1, Bobrisky announced that he has been rearrested by EFCC.
The self-acclaimed ‘Mummy of Lagos’ alleged that he sustained injuries during the arrest and shared a video to validate his claim against EFCC.
The post read: “Nigerians, help me! EFCC has just arrested me.”
I’m badly injured.”
In other news, Abdulsalam Sanyaolu, the ace Nigerian actor popularly known as Charles Olumo and Baba Agbako, has been laid to rest in Ogun.
The film star, who died in the early hours of October 31 at the age of 101, was wrapped in white attire and buried, according to Islamic rites.
The burial ceremony, attended by family members and actors, took place at Sanyaolu’s residence in Abeokuta, the state capital.
Some notable people spotted at the event include Idowu Philips, the Yoruba actor fondly called Iya Rainbow, and Foluke Daramola, who wept bitterly.
