…Outrage trails Runsewe’s comment against Bobrisky

Police detectives from Abuja on Thursday arrested Idris Okuneye, a crossdresser better known as Bobrisky, over an alleged N30m fraud.

According to The Nation, the controversial 28-year-old internet personality was arrested around Lekki in Lagos by the police officers from the FCT over money issues he allegedly had with a lady.

Frank Mba, a deputy commissioner of police, said a woman petitioned the police, alleging that the Snapchat celebrity defrauded her of the sum of N30 million.

“Yes, Bobrisky was arrested in the early hours of today following a petition by a Nigerian woman that the crossdresser collected N30m from her for sales but did not keep to the end of the deal,” Mba said.

“Bobrisky was granted bail but the case is still an active one. It is a case under investigation.”

It was learnt Bobrisky was first taken to a police station on the island where he was allegedly detained before he was granted bail.

The development had reportedly followed after the internet celebrity had an altercation with a Nigerian woman in the diaspora over sales and sponsorship for an artificial eyelash brand.

Bobrisky has long been in the news after claiming to be Nigeria’s first transgender, admitting he severed his genitals.

In 2019, his debut movie had been investigated on homosexuality suspicions before the police deployed operatives to his birthday venues to prevent a potential breach of public peace.

The National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC) had described Bobrisky as “national disaster” but human rights groups issued a statement to protest allegations of threat and harassment.
