Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has been sentenced to six months in prison for naira abuse by Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos. The sentencing took place on Friday, April 12, 2024. During the court proceedings, Bobrisky confirmed his male gender when questioned by the judge.
Upon his admission to the Ikoyi Custodial Centre following the judgment, Bobrisky underwent a standard medical examination, as confirmed by a senior official at the facility. The official stated,
“Bobrisky publicly affirmed his gender as male, which is consistent with court records. Like all inmates, he was examined upon admission, and no gender reassignment surgery or modifications to his genitalia were noted. His biological features are male.”
The official further explained that Bobrisky was treated like any other inmate in terms of accommodation and allocation of resources.
“He was assigned a cell and bed space, similar to the arrangements in a boarding house where housemasters distribute personal belongings to the residents.”
There have been concerns regarding Bobrisky's safety in custody, particularly due to his sexual orientation. However, the spokesperson for the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) assured that measures are in place to protect him.
“Given his self-identification as male, which aligns with the court’s record, we will ensure his safety against any potential threats within the facility,”
the spokesperson said.
