Bobrisky Detained by EFCC While Trying to Board London Flight
Social media crossdresser Okuneye Idris, widely known as Bobrisky, found himself in a troubling situation on Thursday night when he was removed from a KLM flight heading to Amsterdam and detained by immigration officers.
The popular cross-dresser took to Instagram to inform his followers about the incident, revealing that he had sustained injuries during a confrontation with the officers.
Bobrisky claimed that his detention was orchestrated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), appealing to his fans for help.
He wrote, “Nigerians help me, EFCC just arrested me. I’m badly injured.”
His plea explains the ongoing struggles he has faced with authorities, particularly since he was previously intercepted at the Sème border on October 22 while allegedly trying to leave the country.
The controversy surrounding Bobrisky began earlier this year in April 2024 when he was sentenced to six months in prison by the Federal High Court in Lagos for abusing the naira.
This sentencing ignited speculation and accusations that his release was hastened through bribery, with reports suggesting that a ₦15 million payment was made to officials for preferential treatment during his imprisonment.
The situation further escalated in late September 2024 when social media influencer VeryDarkMan shared an audio recording that allegedly featured Bobrisky.
In this recording, Bobrisky purportedly claimed that music artist Falz and his father, the prominent human rights lawyer Femi Falana, approached him during his time in prison, asking for ₦10 million to facilitate a presidential pardon.
In light of these claims, Falana and Falz took legal action, issuing a cease-and-desist letter on October 16, demanding that Bobrisky retract his statements and issue a public apology for what they deemed defamatory remarks.
Bobrisky, however, has denied making these allegations, asserting that he was not responsible for the leaked recording and urging the Falanas to hold VeryDarkMan accountable for the content.
Nigerian pastor Dolapo Lawal spoke on the reality of living abroad and what people do not see online.
He shared the insight that many Nigerians who relocate to other countries mainly move there for survival and not necessarily for wealth.
“How many people you know that are in the UK who are billionaires? They go there to survive. They don’t go there to be rich. All of them are going there to do care jobs. They’re going there to survive.”
He then shared that it is better to be a billionaire in Nigeria and stated that success can sometimes come easier at home than relocating abroad.
Sandra has spoken out and broken her silence on the alleged affair involving Chike. She shared that she was faithful throughout her marriage and claimed that only Frank Edoho cheated.
Sandra revealed that Frank allegedly cheated multiple times and even claimed that a particular woman was frequently seen around their home, stating that he was definitely involved with her.
She also stated that she has evidence against Frank, including receipts from hotels and places where he allegedly met with his dates.
Popular singer Shakira and Nigerian singer Burna Boy have reportedly released “Daidia,” a song linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It was also noted that the two artists are expected to perform during the event, and the song for the occasion has now been released.
This will not be the first time Shakira will perform for the World Cup. Whenever her name is mentioned, many people remember “Waka Waka,” the iconic World Cup song released for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to take place from June 11, 2026, to July 19, 2026, across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Many fans are already excited and cannot wait to see the live performance on the big stage.
