Controversial drag queen, Bobrisky, whose real name is Okuneye Idris, was arrested in the early hours of Thursday by operatives of the Inspector General Police (IG) Monitoring Unit from Abuja over a N30 million deal between himself and a female client.
Although the details of the arrest are still sketchy, police sources say the Bobrisky was picked up while driving in Lekki. The policemen reportedly entered his white Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV)and drove off with him.
The police has now confirmed his arrest in a tweet. The spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, DCP Frank Mba said a woman petitioned the police accusing Bobrisky of N30 million fraud.
However, Mba said Borbisky has been granted administrative bail. “Yes, Bobrisky was arrested in the early hours of today (Thursday) following a petition by a Nigerian woman that the cross dresser collected N30m from her for sales but did not keep to the end of the deal. Bobrisky was granted bail but the case is still an active one. It is a case under investigation,” he told The Nation.
This incident comes weeks after Bobrisky had a spat with a lady who he partnered with to manufacture cosmetic eyelashes.
