Immigration Confirms Bobrisky’s Arrest, Says He’s A Person of Interest
The NIS said Bobrisky was attempting to exit the country when he was arrested.
The statement signed by the Service Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Udo, stated that Bobrisky was attempting to exit the country when he was arrested.
The statement read, “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.”
Trouble started for Bobrisky when he was arrested and sentenced to six months in prison for naira abuse in April.
After serving his time, reports emerged that the celebrity only spent three weeks at Kirikiri Prison and spent the rest of his time at a private facility near the prison.
Bobrisky’s ordeal was compounded when a social media influencer, Martin Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, released a leaked audio clip in which Bobrisky allegedly disclosed that he served his time in a private apartment.
In the leaked audio, Bobrisky also purportedly claimed he bribed officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Correctional Service with ₦15m to withdraw the money laundering charges against him and secure his transfer from prison to the private apartment.
