The Delta State Police public relations officer, DSP Bright Edafe has opened up on the reason the police cannot apprehend cross-dressers such as Bobrisky and James Brown.
Recall that the Delta police command in Asaba had on Tuesday apprehended over 100 suspects allegedly involved in a gay wedding ceremony that took place within the state.
Security operatives subsequently paraded the said suspects, and journalists spoke to some of them.
However, Twitter user Daniel Regha berated the Nigerian Police for arresting the suspects whilst celebrities such as Bobrisky, James Brown, and Enioluwa, who actively champion cross-dressing, are still strutting about without being punished.
He argued that unless these crossdressers face legal repercussions, others will keep copying them.
He tweeted, “Bobrisky, James Brown, Eni & others who champion cross-dressing are still walking free; Until these people are prosecuted, many will continue to emulate.
“Arresting 100 cross-dressers in Delta is one thing, but why ignore their mentors? The police should make an example of ’em.”
Responding, DSP Bright Edafe explained that the 100-plus individuals were not arrested for cross-dressing, rather they were apprehended for organizing and attending a same-sex wedding.
He replied, “Daniel, get your facts right, they were not arrested for cross-dressing, they were arrested for conducting and attending a gay wedding ceremony.
“Bring a part of the law that stipulates punishment for cross-dressing or categorize it as an offense.”
