A recent interview on Channels TV featured Olumuyiwa Adejobi, a police spokesperson, shedding light on the issue of cross-dressing in Nigeria. Responding to inquiries about why prominent cross-dressers like Bob Risky haven't faced legal repercussions, Adejobi explained the complexities surrounding the matter.
According to Adejobi, cross-dressing itself is not deemed a punishable offense in Nigeria; rather, the focus remains on criminalizing queer identities. He clarified that despite rumors linking cross-dressers to the LGBTQ community, lacking substantial evidence prevents legal action.
Adejobi emphasized the legal challenges, asserting that without concrete proof, court cases would likely result in failure.
The discussion on cross-dressing resurfaced in light of previous revelations by personalities like James Brown, who disclosed being a cross-dresser and shared insights into his lucrative social media earnings.
Meanwhile, in March 2024, Bobrisky defended his choice to cross-dress amidst criticism, emphasizing personal autonomy and urging others to respect individual decisions.
