Bobrisky’s alleged isolation in prison, expert explains why

Experts on prisons have provided an explanation for why Idris Okuneye, also referred to as Bobrisky, a controversial transvestite, was reportedly granted an apartment during his six-month term.

Bishop Kayode Williams, the Director General of the Prison Rehabilitation Mission, discussed the various prison accommodations in Nigeria during his Friday morning speech on Arise TV Morning Show.

“Condemned prisoners, those sentenced to death, who must not mix with other inmates, have accommodations,” he said. The second lodging is provided by the prison’s owners, condemned convicts.

“Are they going to bring Idris, with his transgender body and appearance, to sleep in the general cell using the accommodations meant for males? They decide how to treat someone in that way as their initial action.

“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.
