Controversial Nigerian crossdresser, Bobrisky, was reportedly detained in a female cell at the Force Criminal Investigation Department Annex in Alagbon, Lagos State.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that the Nigeria Immigration Service, (NIS) had on Tuesday transferred Bobrisky from its custody to the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) in Alagbon, Lagos State.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a source close to the police facility, said, the transwoman spent the night in the female cell due to his controversial lifestyle and the absence of other female detainees at the time of his detention.
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.”
TNG learnt that operatives of the FCID awaits further directives regarding Okuneye’s case as he was taken to Alagbon annex for safekeeping following his arrest by the NIS 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 knew 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.
