Controversial Nigerian crossdresser Idris Okuneye, known as Bobrisky has been arrested and removed from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight at Lagos’s Murtala Muhammed International Airport on Thursday night.

This marks the second time in October that the crossdresser has been intercepted while attempting to leave the country.

Recall that on 22 October, Bobrisky was stopped at the Sème border while allegedly trying to flee Nigeria.

The crossdresser, confirmed to be in detention at the Federal Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), was brought back into the spotlight when socialite Isaac Fayose, brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, posted an Instagram photo on Thursday of himself with Bobrisky on board the flight.

“Look who’s on the same flight with me to London, @Bobrisky222,” Fayose posted, surprised at meeting the crossdresser en route to London.

Shortly after boarding, however, a trending video showed security officials intercepting Bobrisky and dragging him off the plane in full view of the passengers.

The dramatic removal reportedly delayed the flight, with some passengers on X claiming they were unaware of the cause until Bobrisky was led out.

Looks like Bobrisky has been taken off our flight o. Nobody just know wetin Dey happen. Can we depart already? Drama 🤷🏼‍♂️

Following the incident, Bobrisky, in a series of Instagram stories, shared his ordeal, alleging that he had been detained and manhandled by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The controversial social media personality wrote, “Nigerians help me; EFCC just arrested me. I am badly injured,” he wrote, sharing images that appeared to show red and black bruises on his wrist and arm.

The EFCC has yet to react to the issue.
