The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has granted bail to the controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky.

Bobrisky was intercepted and taken off an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos on Thursday night while trying to depart for London, United Kingdom.

The cross-dresser promptly informed his followers on social media about the incident, claiming he sustained injuries during the arrest.

Bobrisky wrote, “Nigerians, help me, EFCC just arrested me. I’m badly injured.”

He was subsequently flown to the headquarters of the EFCC in Abuja, where he was interrogated on his bribery allegations against the commission.

In a voice note shared by a controversial social critic, Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, Bobrisky allegedly said he bribed EFCC officers with N15m to drop money laundering charges against him.

BIZTELLERS gathered that Bobrisky perfected his bail late Friday night and was subsequently released.

The EFCC’s spokesperson, Dele Oyewale confirmed Bobrisky’s release on Saturday but declined further comments.

However, a source familiar with the matter said the cross-dresser denied bribing the EFCC in his confessional statement made at the commission’s headquarters.

The source added that the cross-dresser challenged the person who posted the voice note to defend it.

“He denied everything about releasing money to any official as a bribe to drop the money laundering charges against him. He denied it in his statement. He said the fellow who posted the voice note should come over to justify it. He said nobody requested money from him in the EFCC and he didn’t give anyone anything”, said the source.
