Popular social media figure, Okuneye Idris, popularly known as Bobrisky, has reportedly taken ill while in detention at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex, Alagbon, Lagos.
The cross-dresser was detained at the facility after being apprehended while trying to exit the country at Seme border.
While at the police cell, Bobrisky reportedly took ill and was rushed to Falomo Police Hospital for medical attention.
A source confirmed the development, stating that he was transferred from the FCID to the hospital for treatment.
According to the source, “Bobrisky complained of breast pain and was rushed to the Police Hospital in the Falomo area of Lagos 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.”
Bobrisky was taken into custody on Monday night by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) following his arrest at the Seme border in Lagos during an alleged attempt to leave the country.
There are indications that he may remain in detention as detectives continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding his arrest. The FCID is expected to obtain a remand order for his continued detention.
NIS spokesperson, Kenneth Udo, confirmed the arrest, describing Bobrisky as “a person of interest.” He further stated that the NIS had intercepted him at the Seme border as part of their efforts to secure Nigeria’s borders.
