The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has confirmed the arrest of Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, at the Seme border while attempting to leave the country.
According to a statement issued by DCI KT Udo, Service Public Relations Officer, Bobrisky was intercepted by immigration authorities due to his attempted exit from Nigeria.
The NIS stated that Bobrisky is a person of interest in recent issues of public concern and is currently undergoing interrogation.
The statement reads: “In keeping with its commitment to securing the borders, Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) intercepted Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju 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.”
Bobrisky is embroiled in an investigation by the House of Representatives, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and the NIS over bribery allegations following a leaked audio recording by social media influencer Martins Ortse (VeryDarkMan).
Ortse alleged that Bobrisky paid EFCC officials N15 million to drop money laundering charges. Bobrisky has yet to admit to the allegations.
