Nigerian crossdresser Okuneye Idris, known as Bobrisky, has reportedly fallen ill while in custody at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex in Alagbon, Lagos.
After spending a night in a police cell, Bobrisky was rushed to Falomo Police Hospital for medical care.
According to a report by Vanguard, a source confirmed that he was transferred from the FCID to the hospital for treatment, stating, “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.”
Bobrisky was taken into custody on Monday night by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) after being arrested at the Seme border in Lagos for allegedly attempting to leave the country.
Reports indicate that he may remain in detention as investigators continue to look into the circumstances of his arrest. The FCID is expected to seek a remand order for his continued detention.
A statement regarding Bobrisky’s condition from the FCID is anticipated later today.
Kenneth Udo, spokesperson for the NIS, confirmed the arrest and referred to Bobrisky as “a person of interest.” He noted that the NIS intercepted him at the Seme border as part of ongoing efforts to secure Nigeria’s borders.
