The Nigerian Correctional Services, NCoS has revealed the outcome of their examination after the controversial crossdresser, Bobrisky was admitted to the correctional center.
A top official at the Ikoyi Custodial Centre who spoke confidentially with The PUNCH made it known that the crossdresser who was handed 6 months in jail was examined at the point of admission to the Custodial Centre.
Their examination revealed that the crossdresser, Bobrisky, had no realignment of his gender or change of his male organs surgically or otherwise, as was claimed by Bobrisky.
The NCoS had initially stated that Bobrisky would be imprisoned in the male section of the facility.
The spokesperson noted how the crossdresser identified himself as a male when being questioned in court, which influenced their decision to place him in a male-designated facility.
Despite concerns regarding his safety due to his gender identity, officials assured the public that Bobrisky would receive adequate protection from harm.
However, officials revealed that after a thorough examination, it was revealed that there was no evidence of gender or genital organ realignment.
The official said: “Bobrisky made a public declaration that he was a male and court proceedings are public records. Every inmate brought into a facility during admission is examined. He was equally examined and no realignment of gender or genital organ was discovered. The male biological features were the same.
“After that, a cell was allocated to him, and he had a certain number of inmates with him. A bed space was also allotted to him. It is just like a boarding house where your housemaster will issue you your personal belongings.”
It was further added that Bobrisky isn’t given preferential treatment, maintaining that he observes the rules like everyone else.
“When it is time for class, he attends. When it is time for food, he will go and get his portion. The same goes with prep and light out. He observes all these without preference. He has been going about his business just like other inmates since he was brought in here.”
He also clarified the viral reports that the crossdresser was being protect against likely abuse from his fellow male inmates.
“He is not getting any five-star treatment and is not being protected from anybody. He follows the same rules and regulations just like every other inmate. Single cells of isolation cells are to prevent outbreaks of communicable diseases.
In a male prison, homosexuality is outlawed and it is a grievous offence. Sodomy or homosexuality, is frowned upon here in the custodial centre. So any inmate that tries to violate him will face the law,” the official added.
