Isaac Fayose, a well-known Nigerian media figure, recently posted a selfie with the famous crossdresser Bobrisky while they were on a flight to London.
This seemingly casual social media post quickly gained attention as it coincided with Bobrisky's arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Bobrisky, whose real name is Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju, was detained by EFCC officials at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos. The arrest took place just as Bobrisky was about to board the flight to London. Reports indicate that the EFCC had been investigating Bobrisky for alleged money laundering and bribery. The arrest was quite dramatic, with authorities stopping the plane just before takeoff and escorting Bobrisky off the aircraft in front of other passengers.
Isaac Fayose, who is the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, shared the selfie on his social media accounts, including Twitter. In his post, he wrote, "See who is on the same flight with me to London @bobrisky222." This post, along with the photo, quickly went viral and drew significant attention online. Many speculated that Fayose's post might have inadvertently alerted the authorities to Bobrisky's location.
Following the arrest, Fayose expressed his shock and concern over the incident. He took to social media to show his support for Bobrisky and criticized the EFCC's actions. Fayose stated, "I will personally write a letter to the International Court of Justice on behalf of Bobrisky." He argued that the arrest was an abuse of power, especially since the national body had previously dropped charges against Bobrisky.
The incident has sparked a heated debate online, with many people discussing the implications of Fayose's post and the EFCC's actions. Some netizens accused Fayose of being responsible for Bobrisky's arrest, while others defended him, arguing that he had no intention of causing harm.
