In a recent interview on Channels TV, the Nigeria Police spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, shed light on why the force refrains from arresting crossdressers in Nigeria, citing legal complexities.
Adejobi emphasized that cross-dressing is not a punishable offense in the country, making it challenging to prosecute individuals solely on that basis. He further explained that while some crossdressers may be associated with the LGBTQ+ community, there is insufficient evidence to support such claims, complicating legal proceedings.
This statement from the police comes amidst growing public scrutiny, particularly concerning figures like Bobrisky, whose fashion choices have sparked moral debates in Nigerian society.
