A dramatic scene erupted at Lagos airport on Thursday night as Nigerian crossdresser and social media sensation Idris Okuneye, famously known as Bobrisky, was forcibly removed from a London-bound flight. The viral footage captures the tense moment when officers from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) intervened, halting Bobrisky’s travel plans.
The incident took place shortly after Bobrisky’s release from detention, following an attempted escape at the Seme border amid allegations of money laundering and bribery. Before the altercation, Isaac Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, had shared images with Bobrisky at the airport, apparently unaware of the imminent commotion.
In a subsequent Instagram appeal, Bobrisky claimed to have sustained injuries from the forceful ejection and called on Nigerians for support. The viral video continues to spark widespread attention, highlighting the legal drama surrounding the controversial figure and deepening public curiosity about the unfolding case.
