A viral video captures the dramatic moment Nigerian crossdresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, was forcibly removed from a flight at Lagos airport on Thursday night.

The incident occurred shortly after Bobrisky’s release from detention following his arrest at Seme border, attempting to flee the country amid a money laundering and bribery case.

Notably, Isaac Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, had previously shared images of himself with Bobrisky at the airport, unaware of the imminent disruption.

In the viral video, officers from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) stormed the airport, interrupting Bobrisky’s travel plans.

In a later Instagram post, Bobrisky appealed to Nigerians for assistance, claiming he sustained injuries during the incident.

The circulating video shows security officers forcefully escorting him off the aircraft, adding to the already widespread public interest in the case.
