He said Bobrisky requires a special accommodation arrangement because despite saying he is a man; his appearance is that of a woman

He stated this while speaking during a breakfast show on Arise Television in Abuja on Friday, September 27.

“The accommodation that is provided for males, are they going to bring Idris with his transgender body /looks to go and sleep in the general cell? The first thing they do is decide how to treat someone like that.

“They provided him a special place for protective custody because, with his appearance, he would be in danger. He looks like a woman, moves like a woman, and some homosexual inmates would be willing to take things to extreme lengths.”
