Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, who is currently under detention at the Force Criminal Investigation Department Annex, Alagbon, Lagos State, spent the night in a female cell in the police facility, PUNCH reports.
According to PUNCH, a source, who confirmed the development on the condition of anonymity, said Okuneye was detained in the female cell because of his controversial lifestyle, adding that there were no female detainees as of the time he was detained at the facility.
The source said, “Bobrisky was brought to the FCID, Alagbon, around 10 p.m. on Monday. Immigration arrested him at the Seme Border and brought him for safekeeping. He is in detention at the FCID, Alagbon. He was arrested on Sunday, detained overnight, and taken to the FCID, Alagbon.
“We have a lot of cells in Alagbon; and when you are having a case like that, you have to look for the right place to guarantee the safety and security of the person being detained.
“Everybody is conscious of the fact that Bobrisky could be gay and nobody wants to be part of a scandal. If you put him among males, anything can happen and you cannot put him among females. So, they gave him a cell alone and the cell is around the female section and they didn’t have any female inmate around that cell.”
It was gathered that further directives were being awaited regarding Okuneye’s case as he was taken to the FCID for safekeeping following his arrest by officials of the Nigeria Immigration Service during his attempt to exit the country through the Seme border.
The source said Okuneye’s attempt to exit the country through the Seme border indicated that he was aware that security agencies were after him.
“From what we gathered, he was trying to escape from the country, but we also think that maybe he is on the blacklist and for him to go to the Seme border, maybe he is aware that they are looking for him,” the source said.
