Meanwhile, two days ago, a police spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi explained the reasons why individuals like Bobrisky, James Brown, and others cannot be arrested.
He emphasized the complexity of the situation, noting that while cross-dressing is not a punishable offense in Nigeria, being queer is.
He clarified that despite rumors linking cross-dressers to the LGBTQ community, without concrete evidence, they cannot be taken to court. Additionally, if brought to court, one would likely lose the case due to lack of substantial evidence.
