Controversial crossdresser Okuneye Idris, widely known as Bobrisky, has reportedly fallen ill while in detention at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex in Alagbon, Lagos.
Following a night in police custody, Bobrisky was transferred to Falomo Police Hospital for medical care.
According to a source, the crossdresser complained of ‘breast’ pain, prompting his transfer from the FCID to the hospital.
“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,” the source revealed.
Bobrisky had been taken into custody on Monday night by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) at the Seme border during an alleged attempt to leave the country. NIS spokesperson Kenneth Udo confirmed the arrest, describing Bobrisky as “a person of interest” intercepted at the border as part of efforts to secure Nigeria’s borders.
There are suggestions that Bobrisky might remain in detention as detectives continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding his arrest. The FCID is expected to seek a remand order for his continued detention, with further details anticipated from a formal statement later today.
