Details on the arrest of controversial crossdresser Bobrisky during a passport check at the Seme border on October 21 have been made public by an immigration source at the Nigerian-Benin Republic border.
The source explained, “He was arrested at midnight, detained until this morning, and is currently being moved to the Lagos zone of the NIS in Ikeja. He handed his passport to someone to stamp for him, but the officer noticed his name immediately and requested that he come down from the vehicle.”
The Nigerian Correctional Service, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and a House of Representatives Committee are all involved in an ongoing investigation that is connected to Bobrisky's detention. The main focus of the case is the allegation of bribery; prior reports indicated that Bobrisky had paid bribes in order to avoid receiving the appropriate prison sentence. The event at the Seme border has made Bobrisky's legal issues even more complex as the investigation goes on.
