An official of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) has revealed that after examination, the facility confirmed that the male reproductive organ of the controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky currently being held in Ikoyi Correctional Centre in Lagos is complete and intact.

The official, therefore, said the cross-dresser was being treated like a normal male inmate.

The official also said that Bobrisky is being held in the same prison cell with male inmates at the facility and that he is being treated as a normal inmate.

Bobrisky had claimed that he had undergone a sex change and transformed into a woman.

Recall that Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, on April 12 convicted and sentenced Bobrisky to six months in jail without the option of a fine over naira abuse.

Bobrisky was arrested by the personnel of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Lagos State, for mutilation of naira notes and not for his lifestyle as a cross-dresser.

There had been calls for Bobrisky’s arrest, especially after social media influencer and blogger, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan in recent videos condemned the award of Best Dressed Female to the cross-dresser at a Nollywood event. However, the Nigeria Police Force said it could not arrest Bobrisky over calls to arrest the cross-dresser.

It was reported that a top official at the Ikoyi correctional facility said that Bobrisky was examined at the point of admission and that the outcome of the examination revealed that the convicted cross-dresser had no realignment of gender or genital organs.

The official was quoted as saying, “Bobrisky made a public declaration that he was a male and court proceedings are public records.

“Every inmate brought into a facility during admission is examined. He was equally examined and no realignment of gender or genital organ was discovered. The male biological features were the same.

“After that, a cell was allocated to him, and he had a certain number of inmates with him. A bed space was also allotted to him. It is just like a boarding house where your housemaster will issue you your personal belongings.”

The prison official added, “When it is time for class, he attends. When it is time for food, he will go and get his portion. The same goes with prep and light out. He observes all these without preference. He has been going about his business just like other inmates since he was brought in here.”

The official who also clarified the claims that Bobrisky was being protected against abuse, said that the facility frowned against any form of abuse by a fellow inmate.

The official said, “He is not getting any five-star treatment and is not being protected from anybody. He follows the same rules and regulations just like every other inmate. Single cells of isolation cells are to prevent outbreaks of communicable diseases.

“In a male prison, homosexuality is outlawed and it is a grievous offence. Sodomy or homosexuality is frowned upon here in the custodial centre. So any inmate that tries to violate him will face the law.”

When asked in court if he was a man or woman, Bobrisky told the judge that he was a man.
