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.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
