The Nigerian Correctional Service has confirmed that despite his incarceration, Bobrisky, also known as Idris Okuneye, retains his male genitalia. This revelation came from a senior official at the prison where Bobrisky is serving a six-month sentence. The official, speaking to Punch newspaper, disclosed that a thorough examination was conducted upon Bobrisky’s admission, revealing no alterations to his male biological features.
While addressing public speculation, the official emphasized that Bobrisky’s gender identity remained consistent with his male anatomy. The examination process, standard for all incoming inmates, found no evidence of gender realignment or changes to his genital organs. This confirmation aligns with Bobrisky’s public declaration of his male identity and is reflected in court records.
The official reiterated that Bobrisky would be housed within the male prison population, adhering to the Correctional Service’s guidelines. Despite any controversy surrounding Bobrisky’s gender identity, the Correctional Service is upholding its policies to ensure his safety and well-being during his time in custody.
According to the official: “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.
