More details have emerged on how popular cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, well known as Bobrisky, was arrested by the Nigeria Immigration Service officers at the Seme order on Monday, October 21, 2024.
Credible sources disclosed that Bobrisky arrived at the departure axis of the Seme border in a black SUV Mercedes Benz at about 1:30 a.m. on Monday.
According to the sources, Bobrisky was first stopped by Port Health officials on duty but the driver didn’t stop until he got to the Immigration checkpoint.
A source said: “Idris handed over his passport to the driver for stamping at the Nigeria Immigration Service post.

“He called the most senior officer on duty to the scene, and they secretly invited the Controller of Immigration, Seme Command, Muhammad Adamu.
“The surveillance officer then went back to invite Bobrisky for capturing in order to stamp the passport.
