How crossdresser Bobrisky spent the night in the police FCID female
A Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, reportedly spent the night in a female cell at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex in Alagbon, Lagos State, following his arrest by immigration officials at the Seme Border.
Earlier on Monday, it was reported that Nigerian crossdresser Idris Okunleye, popularly known as Bobrisky, was reportedly arrested on Monday morning while attempting to escape to the Benin Republic.
A source in the Immigration Service had told SaharaReporters that Bobrisky was arrested by the agency at Seme-Nigerian border during passport check. His arrest occurred just hours before he was scheduled to attend a Senate panel of inquiry meeting regarding allegations against him.
Reports indicate that Bobrisky was trying to evade questioning by the Senate.
It was reported that Bobrisky was brought to the FCID around 10 p.m. on Monday after being detained for safekeeping. A source revealed that he was placed in a female cell due to his high-profile lifestyle and concerns for his safety. At the time of his detention, there were no female inmates in the facility, allowing authorities to make this unusual arrangement.
“Everybody is conscious of the fact that Bobrisky could be gay and nobody wants to be part of a scandal,” the source stated. “If you put him among males, anything can happen, and you cannot put him among females. So, they gave him a cell alone near the female section.”
Mayegun Aminat, the spokesperson for the FCID Lagos, confirmed Bobrisky’s detention, stating, “He is with us and we are to get a remand to keep him in custody today.” The unusual circumstances surrounding his detention have sparked widespread interest and discussions on social media, highlighting the complexities faced by individuals in the public eye.
Sources indicate that further instructions regarding Okuneye’s case are pending, as he was taken to the FCID for safekeeping after being arrested by officials of the Nigeria Immigration Service while trying to leave the country through the Seme border.
Meanwhile, attempts to obtain an updated response confirming Bobrisky’s detention in a female cell were unsuccessful, as he did not answer calls and messages sent to him.
