How Bobrisky’s attempt to cross border failed – Witnesses
Popular Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, alias Bobrisky, was arrested on Monday at the Seme Border while attempting to exit the country.
According to eyewitnesses, Bobrisky arrived at the border post around 1:30 am in a black SUV Mercedes Benz.
After being stopped by Port Health officials, the driver proceeded to the Immigration checkpoint, where Bobrisky’s identity was discovered.
Immigration surveillance officer identified simply as Yusuf alerted senior officials, and Bobrisky was taken to the controller’s office for questioning. His lawyer later arrived, inquiring about the arrest.
“The immigration surveillance officer, identified as Yusuf, while going through the passport, detected that the person inside the vehicle was Bobrisky.
“He called the most senior officer on duty to the scene, and they secretly invited the Controller of Immigration, Seme Command, Mr Muhammad Adamu.
“The surveillance officer then went back to invite Bobrisky for capturing in order to stamp the passport.
“On getting to the surveillance unit for capturing, he was taken to the controller’s office for questioning,” a source told NAN.
NIS Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Udo, confirmed the arrest, stating Bobrisky is “a person of interest” due to recent public concerns.
“In keeping with its commitment to securing the borders, NIS intercepted Bobrisky at the Seme Border over an attempt to exit the country,” he revealed.
He said that Bobrisky was undergoing interrogation and would be handed over to the appropriate authorities for further action.
