Moment Bobrisky was forcefully ejected off plane while traveling to London (trending video)

Controversial Nigerian social media personality and crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos.

The arrest occurred on Thursday evening as Bobrisky was about to board a flight to London.

Eyewitnesses reported that authorities halted the plane just before takeoff and escorted Bobrisky off in front of other passengers.

Shortly after the incident, Bobrisky took to Instagram, writing, “Nigerians help me, EFCC just arrested me. I’m badly injured.”

This arrest comes just days after Bobrisky was released on bail by Nigerian police authorities. Last week, he was detained by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) at the Seme border while allegedly attempting to escape the country.

The crossdresser has been under investigation after an audio recording surfaced in which Bobrisky allegedly claimed he was permitted to serve his six-month jail term outside of Kirikiri prison due to “influential connections.”

The EFCC has confirmed Bobrisky’s re-arrest, stating that he was removed from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight and detained by immigration officers late Thursday night while attempting to leave the country for London.

Bobrisky’s legal troubles began earlier this year when he was sentenced to six months in prison by the Federal High Court in Lagos for naira abuse.

Reports later suggested that he was moved to a private location after three weeks, allegedly facilitated by a ₦15 million bribe to ensure preferential conditions.
