“Bobrisky placed in ‘Privilege Cell’ due to his male and female organs” – Prison officer

Deputy Comptroller Emby Anukwara of the Nigerian Correctional Services (NCoS) revealed that popular crossdresser Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, was held in a ‘privilege cell’ during his time at Kirikiri Prison.

This statement was made during a session with the House of Representatives investigative committee, which visited the prison to examine the conditions of Bobrisky’s detention.

The Deputy Comptroller explained that the decision to place Bobrisky in a special cell followed medical examinations that confirmed he possesses both male and female sex organs, requiring special accommodation.

This revelation follows Bobrisky’s sentencing to six months in prison by a Lagos court for naira mutilation. The legitimacy of his imprisonment came into question after social media influencer Martins Ortse, also known as VeryDarkMan, leaked an audio clip raising concerns.

In the recordings, Bobrisky claimed to have served his term in a lodge, citing the influence of a ‘godfather.’ Despite these claims, an investigative panel concluded that there was no evidence to support that Bobrisky spent any part of his sentence outside the prison facilities.

However, the officer while addressing the House of Representatives committee, said, “I am Emby Anukwara, Deputy Comptroller of Corrections and officer in charge of Medium when Bobrisky was brought in here.

“On the April 12, 2024, Bobrisky was brought here at about 10:30 pm and at about that time, we could not do the necessary documentation.

“So knowing his history as to if he’s a male or female, we decided to take a proactive action; so I directed that he should be given a single cell in the privilege ward – privilege cell.

“He was taken to P-ward room 2 where we are. The next day when we did the admission, he was taken to medicals where the doctor and matron examined him and said he had a male and female organ.”
