The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is planning to transfer controversial crossdresser Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky to its national headquarters in Abuja for interrogation over alleged bribery and corruption.

This was disclosed to The PUNCH by a source in the commission on Friday.

According to the report, the crossdresser will be flown from Lagos to Abuja on Friday following his arrest at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport on Thursday night.

“We have arrested him in Lagos today and will be flown to Abuja today. He accused us of bribery and corruption; we invited him severally, but he did not show up. He who alleges must be ready to prove. Those allegations are too weighty to allow slide,” the source was quoted as saying.

“Also, remember that he has also refused to show up at the National Assembly on the matter. We are left with no other choice than to pick him up so that he can substantiate his claims. And that is what we have done,” the source added.

Bobrisky was arrested by security operatives at the Lagos Airport on Thursday night, while attempting to flee Nigeria for London amid allegations of bribery against him.

Social commentator Isaac Fayose, the brother of former Ekiti State Governor, on Thursday, shared a photo of himself and Bobrisky as they boarded the same flight to London.

“Look who’s on the same flight with me to London, @Bobrisky222,” Fayose shared on his Instagram handle.

In a viral video seen on X, Bobrisky was later removed from the flight by airport officials and arrested on Thursday night.

He later claimed his arrest was carried out by operatives of the Economic Financial Crimes Commission.

“I’m badly injured, Nigerians help me efcc just arrested me,” he wrote on his Instagram story while sharing a short video of injury,” Bobrisky said.
