In a recent interview on Channels Television, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Olumuyiwa Adejobi, shed light on why the Nigerian police cannot arrest controversial crossdresser, Bobrisky, and others like him.

Adejobi explained that while the crossdressing lifestyle might not align with societal norms, it is not a criminal offense under the Nigerian law. He emphasized that the police are bound by the law and cannot arrest individuals based solely on their choice of clothing or lifestyle.

"Bobrisky and others like him are free to express themselves as they choose. Wearing women's clothing or makeup is not a criminal offense in Nigeria," Adejobi stated during the interview.

He further clarified that the police can only act within the confines of the law and when a crime has been committed. "Our duty is to enforce the law, and as long as an individual is not breaking any laws, we cannot arrest them," Adejobi added.

Ok na

He's right - crossdressing and lesbianism are two different things. Bob Risky is a crossdresser. Even if you declare yourself a lesbian in Nigeria and the police refuses to act, trust Nigerians to deal with you personally.

I remember Rev Rowland Jide Macaulay, a Lagos preacher who established a church for gays. Boys pulled it down and nearly killed the mugu. He escaped to the United Kingdom.

Of course the police has absolutely no right to arrest crossdressers , because doing crossdressing is not a criminal act in the Nigerian Constitution and never is.
Nigeria is not an animal kingdom like Iran where they have the ridiculous Morality Police that monitors what you wear and how you wear them, and arrests you for violating dressing codes.
Though some parts of the North are gradually toeing the path of the zoo Iran,by having Hisbah which arrests people for having certain hairstyles, wearing sagged trousers, engaging in business on alcoholic drinks sales.

True.

But he's confusing us

Forget all these things this officer is saying As if law enforcement agencies ever obeyed the law.

Where was the law when they were shooting unarmed youths during the Lekki Tollgate Massacre?

Where was the law when they arrest innocent Nigerian men for carrying dreadlocks?

Nigeria is a country where they only come for you if you don't have money, clout, or connection.

mind your business then

There's no difference between Bobrisky and Nairaland feminists... Irritants!

Verydarkman soon about to overtake bobrisky to begin dress like woman
Na wetin veryfairman go come do i no know .

That's what some of us have Been trying to tell some brainless Nigerians but they don't understand. Cross dressing is a completely different thing from being gay. Abroad, there are many cross dressers that are happily married to their wives. Everyone has their own reasons for doing it

You may not like Bobrisky, you may not like cross dressing, but what Bobrisky is doing is not against the law

"He further clarified that the police can only act within the confines of the law and when a crime has been committed. Our duty is to enforce the law"

Pls where in this law is it stated that the Nigerian Army can declare a civilian wanted, and the Nigerian police will handover suspects to them? Abi is the confines of the law only confined when it is convenient for them??

President gave them full authority to do whatever. Even the police in that community disappeared (meaning army might have accused them and kill them).

Because his costumers are allegedly in high places.

With this kind of statement
Watchout and see how the number of crossdressers in Nigeria will multiple

..

What about show of affection btwn same sex in public, something is fitchy

Our prisons are already overcrowded and our justice system delivery is slow. I did rather prefer that she doesn't take the space and time that would have been used for more serious issues. After all apart from irritating some members of the public, she is clearly harmless.

It will be a crime when I become President.
