Social media reactions to Bobrisky’s birthday party raid
Nigerian cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye popularly known as Bobrisky was on Saturday, August 31, arrested by the Lagos State Police Command.
He was arrested Saturday evening at his birthday party held at ‘The Pearl Gardens’.
It is unclear the reason for his arrest as the Police Command remain tight-lipped on the incident.
Addressing the press after his arrest, police spokesperson, Bala Elkana said, “I can confirm that we sealed off the place based on credible information. That is all I will say for now until the operation is over.”
Well, fans of the Nigerian ‘bebe girl’ have been pouring out love to him since the incident with a number of sympathisers condemning the police for the raid.
Below are some reactions:

Bemusing that @PoliceNG & DG NCAC Olusegun Runsewe are chasing after Bobrisky’s party when there’re more urgent security issues to attend to. It’s only a mad man that chases after a rat while his house is on fire. Hypocrisy is a Nigerian currency.

Last time I checked, identity is not a crime in this country. You can identify as whatever. It’s Same-Sex Prohibition Act, not Sexual Identity Act. It’s not a crime if Bobrisky says she’s a gay person, or a woman, or a transvestite. He was not caught violating any law.
