On 30th August, 2019, a team of police officers from Lagos State Command invaded two locations in Lagos where Bobrisky, a famous cross-dresser, was to have his birthday events. The aim of the police was to disrupt the events and prevent the intended party from holding. And the police succeeded. This leads DPA News to ask questions. What crime did Bobrisky commit under Nigerian law? None! If he had committed a crime, a court would have issued a warrant for his arrest, he would have been arrested and he would have been charged to court. That is what the law says. But none of this could happen because Bobrisky committed no crime and had no intention to commit any. He threatened no crime and there are no real victims that were injured by him. The only problem is this: If one takes Bobrisky seriously, one will find that he has an unusual lifestyle - which is a man dressing and looking like a beautiful woman. However, if one does not take him seriously, one will find him an interesting entertainer who creates fun and amusement by acting harmlessly in an unusual manner. Bobrisky did not commit a sexual offense. He did not have sex in public, which would have offended the anti-decency laws. He did not engage in public nudity. He did not have sex with either man or woman which would have raised the issue of prohibition of same-sex romance. We do not even know whether Bobrisky has a lover or not. So, what offense did this man commit that warranted, not his arrest, but denial of opportunity to have his birthday party? What is clear is that one government official has become a zealot and has turned himself into a moral police to judge how we should feel about others' private lifestyle. If we allow Mr. Otunba Runsewe to do this and get away with it, his brand of moral crusade will get to a point where women will be stopped from putting on trousers because that means they are dressing like men, and worse. What this case shows us is that whatever government office Mr. Runsewe is representing has no further relevance and should be shut down to save taxpayers money. And one hopes that Bobrisky will approach the courts to enforce his rights.

In light of the following story in the media, we were forced to ask the captioned question. Bobrisky will no longer be allowed to practice his "Girlish & Mumu Lifestyle"  in Nigeria, as public official nabbed his activities "A National Disgrace" Director-General of the National Council for Arts and Culture, Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, has vowed to deal with popular Nigerian male Barbie, Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju, widely known by many as Bobrisky. He made the disclosure in an interview with Vanguard. According to him, Bobrisky will not be allowed to practice his ways anymore in Nigeria. His words; Bobrisky is a national disgrace. He started by selling and using bleaching creams, now, he has grown boobs, bums and hips. If a Bobrisky is doing well with his immoral lifestyle, how do you convince Nigerian youths to do the right thing? Bobrisky has the right, but not within the Nigerian environment. There are others like him, but they live outside the country. If we don’t address Bobrisky as early as possible, he will form a team that will spread like wildfire. This will result in a lot of suicide cases, because the typical Nigerian parent would not want to see their child become a Bobrisky. It’s not an entertainment issue, it’s a war to save Nigeria for a better tomorrow. If you start this kind of war, you are bound to be attacked. ”My job is to preserve and protect the culture of this country. It would be unfair for me to be silent on this. You now find male prostitutes by the roadsides. A popular Nigerian recently paid an unexpected visit to his son in England only to discover that the son is a gay leader. The man was brought back to the country on a wheelchair. I’m talking with the strength of information and authority. I have information that over twenty-three Nigerian boys are already starting Bobrisky’s brand. Immediately we started the war, they pulled out because we are going to get them arrested. They cannot destroy this country."
