Popular Nigerian crossdresser Idris Olanrewaju Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, has reportedly been detained in a female cell.

The Nigerian Immigration Service recently arrested him at the Seme border, and he was taken to the Force Criminal Investigation Department Annex (FCID) in Alagbon, Lagos State.

According to reports from The Punch, Bobrisky is in the prison's female section because of worries about his safety among male detainees because of the controversy surrounding his cross-dressing.

The source revealed that Bobrisky was given a cell where he would be alone because of fear of his safety since it would be harmful to put him in a cell with men or women. However, Bobrisky's cell is close to the female cell.

The source said: “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 inmates around that cell.”

This information has sparked many reactions among social media users.
