Prison Experts Explain Why Bobrisky’s Was Provided With A Special Accommodation

 

Prison experts have clarified why controversial crossdresser Idris Okuneye, known as Bobrisky, was reportedly provided with an apartment to serve his six-month sentence.

Speaking on Arise TV Morning Show on Friday, the Director General of the Prison Rehabilitation Mission, Bishop Kayode Williams, highlighted different prison accommodations in Nigeria.

In his words: “There are accommodations for condemned prisoners, those sentenced to death, who must not mingle with other inmates. The second accommodation is convicted inmates, who are the owners of the prison.

“The accommodation that is provided for males, are they going to bring Idris with his transgender body /look 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 there are homosexual inmates who would be willing to take things to extreme lengths.”

Supporting with Kayode, the former National PRO of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Francis Enobore, said that the service profiles each inmate for both their safety and the general prison environment.

“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 is not taken, we will have a very serious security situation on our hands,” he said.
