Controversial Nigerian crossdresser, Okuneye Idris, popularly known as Bobrisky, has reportedly fallen seriously ill while in detention at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex, Alagbon, Lagos.
Bobrisky, who was arrested on Monday night by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) at the Seme border, is said to have complained of severe chest pain, prompting authorities to take swift action. After spending a night in the police cell, Bobrisky was urgently transported to the Falomo Police Hospital in Lagos for immediate medical attention.
According to a reliable source, the popular internet personality was moved in an ambulance with the plate number LND 339L. “Bobrisky complained of ‘breast’ pain and was rushed to the Police Hospital in the Falomo area around 2:00 p.m. He wore a black gown, covered his face with a shawl, and was lying down in the ambulance,” the source revealed.

The arrest and subsequent health scare have sparked widespread public interest and speculation, with many wondering about the details of his attempted exit from the country. The NIS, while confirming the arrest, described Bobrisky as “a person of interest” and stated that he was intercepted at the Seme border as part of ongoing efforts to tighten Nigeria’s border security.
As Bobrisky remains in custody, detectives are continuing their investigation, and reports suggest he may be held for an extended period as the FCID seeks a remand order to further probe the circumstances surrounding his arrest.
A formal statement from the FCID regarding Bobrisky’s health and legal situation is expected soon, leaving fans and critics alike in suspense over the outcome of this developing drama.
