Popular Nigerian lifestyle influencer, Bobrisky Okuneye, has reportedly been arrested at the Seme Border while attempting to flee the country for the Benin Republic. The claim was made by social media critic Verydarkman, who stated that the influencer was apprehended by Nigerian immigration officers amidst an ongoing investigation by the House of Representatives.
In a post on Instagram, Verydarkman revealed, “Bobrisky was arrested this morning at the Seme Border while trying to enter Benin Republic to escape the current investigation by the House of Reps. He is allegedly being held by Nigerian immigration.” The arrest is said to be linked to the ongoing probe into Bobrisky’s alleged involvement in illegal activities, including money laundering.
The arrest follows Bobrisky’s failure to appear before a House of Representatives panel. He had been summoned to answer questions regarding a series of leaked audio clips in which he allegedly admitted to bribing officials to avoid imprisonment. In the recordings, Bobrisky purportedly claimed that his godfather helped dismiss his money laundering case with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The news of Bobrisky’s alleged arrest has stirred up reactions online, with many now awaiting his response to the accusations and whether he will confirm or deny the claims. As of now, no official statement has been made by Bobrisky or his representatives.
