According to the police spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, crossdressers cannot be arrested in Nigeria because it is considered a tricky situation. This was revealed in an interview on Channels TV on Tuesday.
The police spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, mentioned that even if there are allegations linking cross-dressers to the LGBTQ community, there is no specific evidence to support these claims. Therefore, it becomes difficult to take legal action against them. He also emphasized the need for credible evidence before prosecuting anyone. Cross-dressing itself is not considered an offense in Nigeria, but if there is evidence of other illegal activities, appropriate action can be taken based on existing laws.
Adejobi’s statement coincides with the ongoing debate surrounding the moral position of Bobrisky, a popular crossdresser in Nigeria. Recently, Bobrisky was recognized as the best-dressed female at a movie premiere by Eniola Ajao, which has sparked further discussions among Nigerians.
