“Why police cannot arrest crossdressers in Nigeria” – Police Force PRO

• Nigerian Police Force PRO, Muyiwa Adejobi, addresses crossdressing concerns in Nigeria on Channels TV.
• Muyiwa Adejobi emphasizes the challenge of proving cases against crossdressers, likening it to sensitive cases like rape.
• He states that arresting someone without credible evidence for prosecution is not feasible.
• According to Muyiwa Adejobi, Crossdressing itself is not illegal in Nigeria.

The Public Relations Officer (PRO) for the Nigerian Police Force, Muyiwa Adejobi, has addressed concerns surrounding the activities of crossdressers in the country.

Notable figures like Bobrisky, James Brown, and Jay Boogie have been at the center of this conversation.

Adejobi shed light on the complexities surrounding the prosecution of crossdressers, emphasizing that certain cases present significant challenges in terms of evidence.

Drawing parallels with other sensitive cases, he cited rape as an example, noting that the legal system demands multiple elements to be substantiated.

Failure to provide sufficient evidence on any front could potentially lead to the dismissal of a case in court.

Contrary to widespread beliefs, the PRO clarified that crossdressing itself is not illegal in Nigeria, at least to his knowledge.

He emphasized that while there may be allegations against crossdressers, these accusations often hinge on ‘natural offences’.

To secure a conviction, the prosecution must present credible evidence to substantiate these claims.

Netizens Reactions…
