The Nigeria Immigration Service NIS has kept mum following reports that Nigerian cross dresser, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky was arrested on Monday by its personnel attached to the Seme Border.
Reports of the arrest had gained traction on social media around mid-day after social media activist, Martins Otse popularly known as VeryDarkMan VDM, revealed on his Instagram page that the cross dresser was arrested while attempting to flee into neighbouring Benin Republic.
Efforts to get the immigration service to ascertain the veracity of the claim were unsuccessful as the service did not immediately respond to media enquiries.

VDM had in the video displayed a message he had received from an unnamed source which disclosed that; “Bobrisky was arrested this morning at Seme border post on his way to escape to Benin Republic. He sent someone to help him sign his international passport, and he hid in his car. The Nigerian immigration service is currently holding him.
