Nigerian crossdresser, Okuneye Idris, better known as Bobrisky, has reportedly fallen ill while being held at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex in Alagbon, Lagos.
After spending a night in police custody, Bobrisky was rushed to Falomo Police Hospital for medical treatment.
A source confirmed the incident, stating that Bobrisky was transferred from the FCID to the hospital due to health issues.
The source said, “Bobrisky complained of ‘breast’ pain and was rushed to the Police Hospital in the Falomo area of Lagos around 2:00 p.m. in an ambulance with the plate number LND 339L. He wore a black gown, covered his face with a shawl, and lay down in the ambulance.”
Bobrisky was initially taken into custody on Monday night by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) after being arrested at the Seme border in Lagos while allegedly trying to leave the country.
He is expected to remain in detention as investigations continue into the circumstances surrounding his arrest.
The FCID is planning to seek a remand order for his extended detention.
A statement from the FCID regarding the situation is expected soon.
NIS spokesperson, Kenneth Udo, confirmed the arrest, identifying Bobrisky as a “person of interest.”
He explained that NIS officers intercepted him at the Seme border as part of their border security operations.
Bobrisky has since remained in the custody of the Immigration Service.
KanyiDaily recalls that the Nigerian Correctional Services (NCoS) has revealed that Bobrisky was placed in a “privilege cell” during his time at Kirikiri Prison bcause he has male and female organs.
