The announcement, made on Tuesday, has stirred up a whirlwind of speculation and confusion among his followers and the general public.

In a brief post on his Instagram, Bobrisky wrote: “Guys, have just been arrested by immigration in Nigeria. I don’t know what I did o.”

While the socialite didn’t provide further details on the reason behind the arrest, his statement quickly grabbed attention, given the controversial nature of his public persona.

This incident comes just months after Bobrisky confirmed that he had left Nigeria in late 2024 to address his mental health concerns. In a post from November 2024, he stated:

“Yes, I’m here to confirm I’m out of Nigeria temporarily… I need to attend to my sanity and my health. Few Nigerian security agencies try everything to frustrate me but naaa I gat God.

Imagine !!! buying business class ticket 3 times. only 1 was successful. @kIm I hope you guys refund me the two I didn’t use. I know it’s not your fault but it’s fine.”

His most recent claim regarding the immigration arrest adds to the drama surrounding his personal life and public presence.

While Bobrisky has remained an enigmatic figure in the Nigerian entertainment and social media scene, this latest development has only intensified public interest in his affairs.

As of now, the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) has not issued any official statement confirming or denying the arrest. This lack of confirmation has left the public to speculate further about the circumstances surrounding Bobrisky’s claim.

Despite his divisive presence in the media, Bobrisky continues to be a subject of fascination for many, maintaining his position as one of Nigeria’s most talked-about personalities.

Whether this arrest is real or simply a publicity stunt remains unclear, but it is certain that Bobrisky knows how to keep people talking.
