How Bobrisky Spent Night In FCID Female Cell

Controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, was detained in a female cell at the Force Criminal Investigation Department Annex in Alagbon, Lagos State.

A source close to the police facility, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, confirmed to Punch that Okuneye spent the night in the female cell due to his controversial lifestyle and the absence of other female detainees at the time of his detention.

The source said, “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.”

Confirming Okuneye’s detention, the spokesperson for the FCID, Lagos, Mayegun Aminat, during a conversation with Punch, 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.”

Naijaonpoint learnt that further directives were being awaited regarding Okuneye’s case as he was taken to the FCID for safekeeping following his arrest by officials of the Nigeria Immigration Service during his attempt to exit the country through the Seme border.

The source said Okuneye’s attempt to exit the country through the Seme border indicated that he knew security agencies were after him.

“From what we gathered, he was trying to escape from the country, but we also think that maybe he is on the blacklist and for him to go to the Seme border, maybe he is aware that they are looking for him,” the source said.
