Nigerian transgender woman and LGBT personality, Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, popularly known as Bobrisky, reportedly has been arrested.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Bobrisky was reportedly arrested by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) late Wednesday.
It was gathered that Bobrisky passed the night in the cell of the EFCC.
This is coming barely 24 hours after Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi said crossdressers, including Bobrisky, cannot be arrested.
According to reports, Bobrisky was arrested at her mansion at Pinnock Beach Estate in Lagos State over offences related to mutilation and abuse of the Nigerian Naira.
Bobrisky became a sensation for not adhering to conservative Nigerian standards and went viral after creating the “bobrisky dance” in 2021.
She claimed to have a lover who is assumed to be of masculine gender despite the law in Nigeria forbidding same-sex relationships as an offence punishable by up to 14 years imprisonment.
On 8 July 2021, Bobrisky revealed a new physical appearance after undergoing surgery to become more feminine. She had urged Nigerians to start referring to her as a woman, saying she now has a vagina.
She recently won an award in the female category at a movie premier, which sent social media into a frenzy.
Bobrisky had opened up on reasons she took the decision to become a transgender.
Details of her arrest are still sketchy at the time of filing this report. Neither Bobrisky’s representatives nor the EFCC have happened on the matter.
Details shortly…
