At the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, Bobrisky was removed from a KLM flight headed to Amsterdam and subsequently arrested by immigration officials on Thursday evening as he attempted to leave Nigeria for London, UK.
To inform his followers about the incident, Bobrisky took to his social media page, writing that he had been hurt in a clash with immigration officials. “The EFCC maltreated and manhandled me while arresting me,” he claimed, sharing photos of bruises he reportedly sustained during the incident.
The reason for his arrest is not yet known.
However, videos and reports suggest that Bobrisky was indeed removed from an Amsterdam-bound KLM flight and detained by immigration officers later that same evening.
Reports detail multiple clashes with authorities, including the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS).
