Controversial crossdresser Okuneye Idris, popularly known as Bobrisky, has reportedly fallen ill while in custody at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex in Alagbon, Lagos. After spending a night in police detention, he was taken to Falomo Police Hospital for medical treatment.
Sources indicate that Bobrisky was transferred to the hospital due to discomfort, specifically complaining of breast pain. “He was taken to the Police Hospital in Falomo around 2:00 p.m. in an ambulance with the plate number LND 339L. He wore a black gown, covered his face with a shawl, and lay down in the ambulance,” the source stated.
Bobrisky was arrested on Monday night by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) at the Seme border in Lagos while allegedly attempting to leave the country.
It appears he may remain in custody as investigators look into the circumstances of his arrest. The FCID is expected to seek a remand order to extend his detention.
A statement from the FCID regarding Bobrisky’s health condition is anticipated later today. NIS spokesperson Kenneth Udo confirmed the arrest, labeling Bobrisky as “a person of interest,” and noted that the interception at the Seme border was part of ongoing efforts to secure Nigeria’s borders.
