Why Bobrisky ‘ll be held in male facility—Correctional Service

The Nigerian Correctional Service on Friday declared that jailed controversial crossdresser, Idris ‘Bobrisky’ Okuneye, will be kept in the male section of the prison facility throughout his six-month imprisonment.

A top official of the Correctional Service however assured that Bobrisky would be offered adequate protection from other inmates who might want to sexually violate him.

“Since he admitted to being a male in court, then we have to abide by what was submitted in court,” the correctional official disclosed Friday.

“He shouldn’t be afraid of sexual assault from other male inmates because our men can give him protection.”

It would be recalled that Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court on Friday sentenced Bobrisky to jail after he pleaded guilty to a four-count charge of naira abuse.

Bobrisky told Ms Awogboro that he was a man when asked to clarify his gender status before the court.

Meanwhile, Bobrisky, posting a video of him clutching what appeared to be bosoms and posing half-naked in a bathrobe, has given his five million Instagram followers the impression that he has transitioned to a female.

In one of his photos on Instagram, he wrote, “My journey transitioning into a woman has been going smooth, no health issues, everything is going smooth for me.”
