Authorities at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), Alagbon, Lagos, are believed to have obtained a court order to keep controversial cross-dresser, Bobrisky in custody while investigations continue.
Bobrisky was arrested on Monday by Nigeria Immigration Service officers at the Seme border in Badagry as he tried to flee the country.
He was handed over to FCID officers and is currently being held at their facility.
A senior police officer, who asked not to be named, confirmed that they sought a court order for Bobrisky’s continued detention: “We have gone to court to get a detention order from a court to keep Bobrisky pending the outcome of investigation or further directive from higher authority.”
After his arrest, Bobrisky was held at the Seme Area Command until Tuesday, when he was moved to Alagbon under armed escort.
His arrival at FCID reportedly caused a stir, with some officers gathering to see him before he was taken to the Assistant Inspector General of Police’s office, where he was briefly questioned.
