Controversial Nigerian cross-dresser, Idris Okunneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, caused a stir on social media after claiming that he had been arrested by officials of the Nigerian Immigration Service. The social media personality made the allegation in an Instagram post on Tuesday, sparking widespread reactions and concern among his followers. Bobrisky, known for his flamboyant lifestyle and outspoken nature, had previously announced his decision to leave Nigeria to focus on his personal well-being. His departure followed legal troubles dating back to April last year when he was arrested and sentenced to six months in prison for abusing the naira, Nigeria’s official currency. However, in a later update, Bobrisky revealed that his claim of being arrested was merely an April Fool’s prank. This revelation led to mixed reactions online, with some fans relieved while others expressed frustration at being misled. The prank added to Bobrisky’s history of controversial antics, reinforcing his reputation for stirring public discourse through social media. The initial claim had gained significant traction, with many speculating about possible reasons for the alleged arrest. However, with the prank now exposed, it serves as a reminder of the influence social media personalities wield and the extent to which their statements can shape public conversations. As the dust settles, Bobrisky’s latest stunt once again highlights the power of social media in generating viral reactions, as well as the blurred lines between reality and entertainment in the digital age.
