The Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC has confirmed the arrest of popular crossdresser, Idris Okuneye better known as Bobrisky.
Kemi Filani reported hours ago that the crossdresser hasn’t been arrested. According to reports online, the crossdresser was arrested at Pinnock Estate, in Lagos State on April 3, 2024, at 3 pm.
Confirming his arrest, a spokesperson identified as Dele Oyewale exclusively revealed to Linda Ikeji Blog, the cause of his arrest. He claimed that the crossdresser was arrested for currency mutilation and abuse of the Naira.
He disclosed that the internet sensation is in their facility in Lagos and would be charged to court soon.
“He is with us. We arrested him over currency mutilation and abuse of Naira. He is in our facility in Lagos State”, Oyewale said.
This is coming just two days after a police spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi revealed why Bobrisky, James Brown, and others can’t be arrested. He stated that it is a very tricky situation, as he expressed how cross-dressing is not yet a punishable offense in Nigeria, but being queer is.
He made it known that even if there might be rumors of people who cross-dress also being a part of the LGBTQ community because there is no specific evidence to back that up, they cannot take them to court and if eventually taken to court, one will lose.
Back in March of 2024, Bobrisky had blown hot after people criticized his decision to be a cross-dresser. He wrote a lengthy post on Instagram where he cautioned people to allow other people to leave, explaining that there was something called choice and everybody has their own different choices to make.
He went on to express that even if his creator was to wake him up, he would still defend himself and tell God why. He further cautioned them to mind their business.
