The internet has been on fire over the mugshot of renowned crossdresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Bobrisky was arrested by EFCC operatives at Pinnock Estate in Lagos State on April 3, 2024, at 3 pm.
Confirming the arrest, EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale disclosed that Bobrisky was detained for currency mutilation and Naira abuse.
He stated that Bobrisky is currently held at their Lagos facility and will face court proceedings soon.
The EFCC, in a statement on their official Instagram page, explained that Bobrisky’s arrest stemmed from a video showing him spraying and displaying bundles of new Naira notes at the premiere of Eniola Ajao’s movie, “Ajajaku.” Further investigation revealed similar incidents at various events.
According to EFCC, Bobrisky presented himself for questioning at the Lagos Zonal Command on April 4th and provided his statements voluntarily.
However, the mugshot of Bobrisky released alongside the statement on the Instagram has become a talking point on the social media.
Some of the commentators admired the appearance of the crossdresser even in custody.
