Explaining the reasons behind the arrest in a telephone conversation with SaharaReporters on Friday morning, the spokesman for the Commission, Mr Dele Oyewale, said Bobrisky was arrested because he refused to honour an invitation sent to him.

The EFCC official said the crossdresser was arrested in connection with the allegation of bribery against him.

“We arrested him last night and we took him to Abuja because our team investigators are in Abuja,” the EFCC spokesman said.

He continued: “He was trying to run away from mentioning those he said collected bribe from him. We have sent him invitation but he refused to honour our invitation and he was trying to leave the country.

“This was why we arrested him. We want him to come and mention the names of the official involved in the bribery but he has not shown up.”

When SaharaReporters enquired whether Bobrisky will be charged with bribery by the EFCC, Mr Oyewale said he did not have any information regarding that yet.
