Findings indicate that controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, better 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 dreaded police facility.
A source, who confirmed the development to Punch on the condition of anonymity, said Bobrisky who was apprehended at Seme Border by the Nigerian Immigration Service and handed over to the police was detained in the female cell because of his appearance, adding that there were no female detainees as of the time he was detained at the facility.
“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”, the newspaper’s source was quoted as saying.
Also confirming Okuneye’s detention, the spokesperson for the FCID, Lagos, Mayegun Aminat, during a conversation with our correspondent, on Tuesday, said, “He is detained at the FCID, Alagbon. He is with us and we are to get a remand to keep him in custody today.”
