The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been questioned by Nigerian comedian Oluwaseyitan Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law, on the detention of Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, a Nigerian transvestite.
According to reports, the EFCC verified Bobrisky’s re-arrest in Lagos.
The well-known transgender person claimed to have been hurt in a conflict with the immigration agents and posted about the incident on Instagram to update his followers.
Bobrisky claimed that the EFCC was responsible for his incarceration.
“Nigerians help me, EFCC just arrested me,” he wrote on social media. I have serious injuries.
According to sources, his arrest resulted from his failure to reply to multiple commission invitations after he made complaints against the EFCC.

He was taken off a KLM flight to Amsterdam at Lagos’s Murtala Muhammed International Airport and then arrested by immigration officers late Thursday evening as he tried to board a trip to London, UK.
Seyi criticized the EFCC in a post on X for permitting Bobrisky to board the aircraft before re-arresting him and asked whether the crossdresser had received a travel restriction from any court.
“I don’t understand Bobrisky’s case, abeg,” he remarked. Was he asked not to travel by any court? Why let him board the aircraft and subject him to such humiliation?
