Crossdresser, Okuneye Idris, also known as Bobrisky, has been transferred to the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex, Alagbon, Lagos State
Bobrisky was reportedly transferred to the FCID on Monday, following his arrest by officials of the Nigeria Immigration Service after he attempted to exit the country through the Seme border.
The spokesperson for the FCID, Lagos, Mayegun Aminat confirmed the development, saying “He is with us and we are to get a remand to keep him in custody today.”
Recall that the crossdresser, described as a “person of interest” by the Nigeria Immigration Service has come under the radar of some security agencies since the news of allegedly enjoying privileges while at the Medium and the Maximum-Security Custodial Centres came to the limelight.
Social critic, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, had shared a voice note allegedly belonging to Bobrisky, claiming that a “godfather,” alongside staff members of the Nigerian Correctional Service, ensured he served the six-month sentence in a private apartment and not in prison.
Consequently, an investigative panel set up by the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo concluded on Monday that it was necessary to investigate further if the privileges provided for Idris were financially motivated and based on corrupt practices by correctional officers.
“The panel believes that the peculiar case of the inmates and the inmates’ physical look and behaviour pose a threat, and the lack of laid-down rules for the treatment of such a case may have necessitated such privileges to be granted to Okunenye Idris,” the panel said
