How Bobrisky Will Be Housed In Prison – Correctional Service

Following the sentencing of celebrity transgender, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, to six months in prison by a Federal High Court in Lagos for Naira mutilation, the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) stated that Bobrisky would be housed in the male section of its facility.

Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court found Bobrisky guilty of Naira abuse, leading to his sentencing on Friday.

GWG.ng reports that Bobrisky’s conviction sparked debate on social media, with some questioning the severity of the sentence for his offense. Despite the controversy, the Nigerian Correctional Service clarified that Bobrisky would serve his term in the male section of its custodial facility, according to standard procedure.

Bobrisky, known for his open discussion of gender transition online, stated his identity as male during court proceedings, which led to the decision to place him in a male-designated facility.

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

Despite concerns about his safety related to his gender preference, correctional officers have assured that Bobrisky will receive adequate protection from potential harm.

“He shouldn’t be afraid of sexual assault from other male inmates because our men can give him protection,” the spokesperson stated, addressing worries about his vulnerability.
