This came as the investigative panel set up to probe allegations that Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky was kept out of the custodial centre while serving his six-month prison sentence, yesterday turned in its report, dismissing the claims.

Also, in responding, the Interior Minister said the report would not be swept under the carpet as all those indicted would be made to face the full wrath of the law.

Admitting that Bobrisky was arrested, yesterday at the Seme Border while trying to flee the country, Service Public Relations Officer SPRO, Kenneth Udo said the cross-dresser is a “person of interest.”

He said; “In keeping with its commitment to securing the borders, NIS intercepted Okuneye otherwise known as Bobrisky at the Seme Border over an attempt to exit the country.

The Service wishes to inform the public that Okuneye 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.”

On his part, Otse alleged that Bobrisky’s arrest by the officers of NIS was linked to his attempt to evade an ongoing investigation by the House of Representatives.

Otse had been invited to answer questions over the viral leaked audio recordings in which Bobrisky allegedly admitted to bribing officials of the prisons, to avoid imprisonment.

The recordings also implicated Bobrisky in a money laundering case that was allegedly dropped by the EFCC.

Speaking about the botched escape yesterday, Verydarkman said that “Bobrisky was arrested this morning at the Seme border while trying to enter the Benin Republic to escape the current investigation by the House of Reps.

He is allegedly being held by Nigerian immigration. Let’s wait for Bob to debunk this.”
