In a revelation that clarifies the ongoing controversy surrounding Nigerian crossdresser Bobrisky, an official from the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) has provided exclusive insights to Chronicles Reporters. According to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, an examination conducted at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre in Lagos has affirmed that Bobrisky, legally known as Idris Okuneye, retains his complete and intact male reproductive organ.
This disclosure comes amidst widespread speculation regarding Bobrisky’s gender identity, especially following his claims of undergoing a sex change procedure to transition into a woman. Contrary to such assertions, the prison official emphasized that Bobrisky is treated as a normal male inmate within the correctional facility.
Addressing concerns about Bobrisky’s housing arrangement, the official revealed that the controversial figure shares a prison cell with other male inmates and abides by the same rules and routines as his fellow detainees. Despite his public persona and previous statements regarding his gender identity, Bobrisky, according to the official, declared himself as male during court proceedings, further affirming his legal status as such.
The recent court conviction of Bobrisky, sentencing him to six months in jail without the option of a fine over naira abuse, has sparked renewed interest in his case. Previous reports by SaharaReporters had indicated Bobrisky’s arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for the mutilation of naira notes, unrelated to his lifestyle as a crossdresser.
In light of growing calls for Bobrisky’s arrest, particularly fueled by social media backlash against his recognition at a Nollywood event, Nigerian law enforcement agencies have refrained from taking action against him solely based on his crossdressing activities. The Nigeria Police Force, responding to public outcry, asserted its inability to arrest Bobrisky on such grounds.
As the controversy surrounding Bobrisky continues to unfold, Chronicles Reporters remains committed to providing comprehensive coverage and exclusive insights into this case. Stay tuned for further updates on Bobrisky’s legal proceedings and his experiences within the Nigerian correctional system.
