A Nigerian crossdresser, Okuneye Idris Olarewaju, popularly known as Bobrisky, has been threatened with a law suit over his recent award, as the “Best Dressed Female” at a movie premiere “Ajanuku: Beast of Two Worlds”.
A Senior Special Assistant to the Delta State Governor on Media, Ossai Success, declared his intention to sue Bobrisky and the producer of the movie for allegedly promoting transgender in the country.
“The boy, Bobrisky is a negative influence on our youth and has caused so much damage to young Nigerians.”
Success called on government for a swift intervention and urged the federal authorities to take action by arresting both Bobrisky and the movie producer for purportedly championing transgender and LGBTQ+ rights, which are prohibited by Nigerian law.
He decried the premiere attendees as a disgrace to womanhood and asserted that the movie should be banned from airing in Nigeria due to its alleged encouragement of transgender identity and LGBTQ+ rights.
“As tensions escalate, the spotlight now shifts to the Nigerian government, which faces mounting pressure to address the contentious issue of LGBTQ+ rights within the nation’s borders.”
“With voices on both sides of the spectrum clamoring for attention, the outcome of this impassioned dispute remains uncertain, leaving many Nigerians anxiously awaiting the next chapter in this unfolding saga”.
