Controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, who is currently under detention at the Force Criminal Investigation Department Annex, Alagbon, Lagos State, spent the night in a female cell in the police facility.
A source, who confirmed the development on the condition of anonymity, said Okuneye was detained in the female cell because of his controversial lifestyle, adding that there were no female detainees as of the time he was detained at the facility.
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 had 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.”
However, efforts to get an updated reaction confirming that Bobrisky was detained in a female cell proved abortive as she did not take her calls and had yet to respond to a text message sent to her mobile number as of the time this report was filed.
