Controversial crossdresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, was taken to the Police Hospital in Falomo, Lagos, on Wednesday after experiencing breast pain.
Gistreel reports that this occurred shortly after he spent several hours in a cell at the Nigeria Police Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) in Alagbon, Lagos.
According to police sources quoted by Vanguard, Bobrisky was taken to the hospital around 2 p.m. following his complaints of discomfort.
While initial reports pointed to health issues, a police source suggested that the timing of the ambulance trip may have been deliberate.
This speculation arises amidst reports that the Commissioner of Police in charge of the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) in Lagos State had plans to transfer Bobrisky to his command at SFU.
The timing of the hospital visit and the planned transfer has led to speculation about whether the medical complaint was used as a pretext to manage the transfer process under less scrutiny.
“They were concerned about avoiding public attention, so they sent for a police ambulance with the number plate LLD339LP,” the source added.
Another source indicated that Bobrisky complained bitterly about pain in his ‘breast,’ which was why they insisted on taking him to the Police Hospital, Falomo before transferring him to SFU. “This occurred after the CP of SFU visited the command to supervise the transfer.”
The source added that before Bobrisky was placed in the cell, he was isolated from other inmates and kept in a separate location, with two armed officers assigned to guard his cell after profiling him.
The police source further stated that the two armed officers remained present until Bobrisky was taken out and placed in the ambulance for transport to the Police Hospital, Falomo.
According to Vanguard, when he was approached inside the ambulance and asked for his name, he identified himself with his male name, Idris.
While he was in the ambulance, a female nurse and a fully armed police officer were present to guard him. He was placed on a stretcher inside the ambulance.
