Bobrisky's arrest generates buzz online
Bobrisky's arrest has been generating buzz online, with many speculating about the reasons behind it. While the NIS hasn't disclosed the specific reasons for the arrest, it confirmed that Bobrisky was trying to flee the country.
The NIS has assured the public that it would continue to carry out its duties in a civil and professional manner, maintaining the security of the country's borders.

Lawyer reacts to Bobrisky's arrest
However, Okanlawon Gaffar, a legal practitioner, who spoke with Legit.ng, said there is no justification for the Nigerian immigration to arrest the crossdresser, citing section 41 of the constitution.
Gaffar said:
"Having looked through this press release and the reading of section 41 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), there is no sound reason from NIS to have restricted his/her (Bobrisky) movement.

EFCC takes action on N15m allegations
Legit.ng earlier reported that the EFCC's chairman, Ola Olukoyode, ordered immediate investigation into Very Dark Man's (VDM) allegation against some officers of the commission.
In a trending video, VDM played a trending voice call of Bobrisky accusing the EFCC officials of collecting N15 million bribe to strike out his case.
The anti-graft agency then extended an invitation to VDM and Bobrisky for interrogation.
