FCT, Abuja – Inmates’ rights activist and Director General of the Prison Rehabilitation Mission, Bishop Kayode Williams, said convicted dresser, Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, might have been kept outside the walls because of his transgender nature.
Williams stated this while reacting to an allegation that Bobrisky, who was sentenced to six months in prison was allegedly given an apartment outside the custodial facility.
He said Bobrisky requires a special accommodation arrangement because despite saying he is a man; his appearance is that of a woman
He stated this while speaking during a breakfast show on Arise Television in Abuja on Friday, September 27.
“The accommodation that is provided for males, are they going to bring Idris with his transgender body /looks to go and sleep in the general cell? The first thing they do is decide how to treat someone like that.
“They provided him a special place for protective custody because, with his appearance, he would be in danger. He looks like a woman, moves like a woman, and some homosexual inmates would be willing to take things to extreme lengths.”
As reported by Vanguard, a former public relations officer of the service, Controller Francis Enobore (retd) agreed with Williams’s explanation that Bobrisky was given a special accommodation for his appearance.
“Yes, he confessed in court that he is a man but he came in bodily showing that he is a woman. Some of the people behind bars are unrepentant homosexuals. There is no doubt that if care was not taken, we would have a very serious security situation on our hands”.
