Bobrisky Re-Arrested at Lagos Airport Amid Ongoing Legal Battles
Nigerian social media star Bobrisky was re-arrested at Lagos’s Murtala Mohammed International Airport by the EFCC while attempting to fly to London, just days after being released on bail.
Bobrisky, whose real name is Idris Okuneye, has become a polarizing figure in Nigeria, facing multiple legal challenges. Eyewitnesses report a chaotic scene as authorities halted Bobrisky’s flight moments before departure. The EFCC’s actions have sparked discussions about whether the ongoing scrutiny is warranted or a targeted attack against a high-profile influencer.
Following the arrest, Bobrisky took to Instagram to plead for help, claiming to have been injured during the detention. This call for support was met with mixed reactions online, as many questioned the credibility of his statements. A fellow passenger, Isaac Fayose, expressed concern about the timing of the arrest, highlighting the growing public interest in Bobrisky’s legal woes.
The recent arrest is not an isolated incident; it follows previous detentions and allegations of bribery involving the EFCC. An audio recording has further complicated matters, where Bobrisky purportedly claims to have avoided jail time due to “influential connections.” Bobrisky has vehemently denied the authenticity of this recording, labeling it as fake and promising legal action against its distributor.
As investigations continue, the narrative around Bobrisky remains contentious. Is he a victim of a flawed system, or is he evading accountability?
