Operatives of the Lagos Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have reportedly arrested socialite Idris Olanrewaju Okuneye better known as Bobrisky.
According to reports, Bobrisky was picked at from his Lagos home on Wednesday, April 3, 2024 over alleged currency mutilation and abuse of the Naira.
According to the EFCC spokesman, Bobrisky was arrested for mutilation of naira notes and not for his lifestyle as a cross-dresser.
“It is true our boys arrested him yesterday evening in Lagos for naira abuse. We don’t have anything to do with his lifestyle (being a cross-dresser). He was suspected of committing an economic crime and that was the reason for his arrest,” Dele Oyewale explained.
Bobrisky’s arrest comes barely 24 hours after the Nigeria Police Force stated that it lacked enough evidence to arrest him for same-sex activities.
The Nigeria Police Force on Tuesday said it could not arrest Bobrisky over calls to arrest the crossdresser.
