The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) said it apprehended controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly called Bobrisky, on Monday while he was trying to cross the border into the Republic of Benin.
Bobrisky was released from prison on August 5 after serving out his six-month jail term, following his sentencing on April 12 for violating laws regarding the abuse of Naira notes.
NIS, in a statement by its Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Udo, said, “In keeping with its commitment to securing the borders, Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) intercepted Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju, otherwise known as Bobrisky, at the Seme Border over an attempt to exit the country.
“The service wishes to inform the public that Okuneye Idris is a person of interest over recent issues of public concern. He is undergoing interrogation and will be handed over to the appropriate authorities for further action.
“The service assures the public that it will continue to be civil and professional in its statutory responsibility of manning the country’s borders.”
