Bobrisky’s Arrest At Seme: Eyewitnesses Give Account

 Witnesses have given accounts of what happened in the build-up to the arrest of crossdresser Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, at Seme Border on Monday.

One witness told NAN that Bobrisky arrived at the departure axis of the border post around 1.30 a.m. on Monday in a black SUV Mercedes Benz.

The crossdresser was supposed to appear before a panel set up by the House of Representatives to investigate his allegations of bribery against officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) later on Monday.

NAN learnt that Bobrisky was first asked to stop by port health officials on duty but the driver didn’t stop until he got to the immigration checkpoint.

“Idris handed over his passport to the driver for stamping at the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) post,” a source said.

“The immigration surveillance officer, identified as Yusuf, while going through the passport, detected that the person inside the vehicle was Bobrisky.

“He called the most senior officer on duty to the scene, and they secretly invited the Controller of Immigration, Seme Command, Mr Muhammad Adamu, to the scene.

“The surveillance officer then went back to invite Bobrisky for capturing in order to stamp the passport.

“On getting to the surveillance unit for capturing, he was taken to the controller’s office for questioning.”

Another source told NAN that Bobrisky’s lawyer later came to Seme Border to inquire why he was arrested by the personnel of the immigration command.

“Bobrisky stayed inside the controller’s office until 4.00 pm when he was taken to Lagos State Command of NIS for further investigation,” the source said.
