Okuneye Idris, the controversial Nigerian crossdresser, who is popularly known as Bobrisky, has reportedly fallen ill while in detention at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex, Alagbon, Lagos.
After spending the night in a police cell, Bobrisky was rushed to Falomo Police Hospital for medical attention.
A source confirmed the development, stating that he was transferred from the FCID to the hospital for treatment.
The source said, “Bobrisky complained of ‘breast’ pain and was rushed to the Police Hospital in the Falomo area of Lagos around 2:00 p.m. in an ambulance with the plate number LND 339L. He wore a black gown, covered his face with a shawl, and lay down in the ambulance.”
Bobrisky was taken into custody on Monday night by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) following his arrest at the Seme border in Lagos during an alleged attempt to leave the country.
There are indications that he may remain in detention as detectives continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding his arrest. The FCID is expected to obtain a remand order for his continued detention.
A statement from the FCID regarding Bobrisky’s situation is expected later today.
NIS spokesperson, Kenneth Udo, confirmed the arrest, describing Bobrisky as “a person of interest.” He further stated that the NIS had intercepted him at the Seme border as part of their efforts to secure Nigeria’s borders.
Popular Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky has blatantly denied claims that he gave money to the Falanas to help him secure presidential pardon while he was imprisoned for Naira abuse.
He stated this on his Instastories hours after the Falanas gave him 12 hours to apologize for the claims he reportedly made in a viral audio clip released by Verydarkman VDM last month.
Recall that VDM had released two audio clips purportedly of Bobrisky speaking to a man. In one of the recordings, the person claimed to be Bobrisky said that he had spoken with Falz to request his help in convincing his father (Falana) to secure a presidential pardon, which allegedly involved a payment of N10 million. The person further claimed that he asked Falz for N3 million to ensure preferential treatment at Kirikiri Correctional Centre.
In another audio released by VeryDarkMan, the person claimed to be Bobrisky alleged he had paid N5 million upfront to a Senior Advocate of Nigeria to obtain a Federal Government pardon for charges filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In the statement released in his Instagram page, Bobrisky insisted he is not the person in the viral audio clip. He said his lawyer will release a statement to this effect.
Popular Nigerian rapper, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has issued a 12-hour ultimatum to cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, to immediately retract defamatory statements made against him and offer a public apology.
The warning was delivered through a letter dated October 14, 2024, and signed by Olorunfemi Akinyemi and Taiwo E. Olawanle, of Falana and Falana’s Chambers.
Falz’s legal team has demanded that Bobrisky not only retract the false claims but also publish a written apology on all platforms where the defamatory remarks were made. Failure to comply will lead to legal action, including a claim for damages.
The controversy arose after Bobrisky alleged that Falz had offered to secure a presidential pardon through his father, the renowned Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mr. Femi Falana, for N10 million.
Falz’s legal representatives firmly denied the accusation, revealing that Bobrisky had in fact approached Falz for financial assistance, which was declined.
In the letter titled, “Demand for Withdrawal and Retraction of Defamatory Statements against Mr. Folarin Falana (aka Falz),” the rapper accused Bobrisky of exploiting his recent imprisonment to defraud the public and make false claims about receiving legal help from Falz’s father.
The letter stated: “It is evident that you took advantage of your recent imprisonment to extort money from artists and the public.
“On May 4, 2024, you called Mr. Falz requesting financial assistance of N3 million for a special place in the Kirikiri Correctional Centre, which was refused. You then falsely claimed in a video that Mr. Femi Falana had agreed to write a pardon letter for you.”
Falz’s lawyers also refuted additional claims made by Bobrisky that he had paid N5 million to a Senior Advocate of Nigeria to secure a pardon, labeling these statements as entirely fabricated.
Falz warned Bobrisky that if the retraction and apology are not issued within 12 hours, legal proceedings will commence, potentially resulting in significant financial damages.
In a related case, a Lagos State High Court recently ordered popular blogger Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, to remove defamatory content about Falz from all social media platforms within 21 days.
The court also prohibited the blogger and his associates from further publishing any defamatory statements until legal proceedings have been resolved.
Popular Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky has shared his desire to own the latest presidential Rolex watch.
Bobrisky revealed that he has spent millions on body surgeries, including N12 million for two Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedures, N10 million for chest enhancements, and N20 million on his private area.
He emphasized that looking this good shouldn’t come without some luxuries, asking men to buy him the new Rolex and giving them a three-day deadline.
When a fan mentioned the rising cost of fuel, Bobrisky advised that people should work harder at their side jobs.
Another person warned him to be cautious when requesting gifts, so it wouldn’t be used against him later.
Bobrisky has been open about his financial struggles since his encounter with the EFCC.
He has also asked journalists to pay for his side of the story.
In a series of posts, he stated:
“I need d latest Presidential Rolex😩😩😩. How can I update my car, phone and still be using 2022 Rolex? Never.
