Bobrisky To Be Held, Protected In Male Prison — correctional service

Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky will be kept in the male section of the prison facility throughout his six-month imprisonment, officials of the Nigerian Correctional Service have said.

Bobrisky told Awogboro that he was a man when asked to clarify his gender status before the court.

“Since he admitted to being a male in court, then we have to abide by what was submitted in court,” the correctional spokesperson said on Friday.

Prison officials also said Bobrisky will be offered adequate protection from other inmates who might want to sexually violate him.

“He shouldn’t be afraid of sexual assault from other male inmates because our men can give him protection.”

Bobrisky, posting a video of him clutching what appeared to be bosoms and posing half-naked in a bathrobe, has given his five million Instagram followers the impression that he has transitioned to a female.

In one of his photos on Instagram, he wrote, “My journey transitioning into a woman has been going smooth, no health issues, everything is going smooth for me.”
