Idris Okuneye, widely recognised as Bobrisky, a figure often surrounded by controversy, was admitted to the Police Hospital in Falomo, Lagos, on Wednesday due to breast pain.
According to Gistreel, this took place soon after he had spent several hours in a cell at the Nigeria Police Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) in Alagbon, Lagos.
As reported by Vanguard, police sources indicated that Bobrisky was transported to the hospital at approximately 2 p.m. due to his reports of discomfort.
Although early reports indicated health concerns, a police source implied that the timing of the ambulance journey could have been intentional.
This speculation emerges following reports that the Commissioner of Police overseeing the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) in Lagos State intended to transfer Bobrisky to his command at SFU.
The timing of the hospital visit and the scheduled transfer has sparked speculation regarding whether the medical issue served as a pretext to facilitate the transfer process with reduced oversight.
“They were worried about drawing public attention, so they requested a police ambulance with the number plate LLD339LP,” the source added.
Another source reported that Bobrisky expressed significant discomfort regarding his ‘breast,’ which led to the decision to take him to the Police Hospital, Falomo, before transferring him to SFU.“This took place following the visit of the CP of SFU to the command for the purpose of overseeing the transfer.”
The source indicated that prior to Bobrisky being placed in the cell, he was isolated from other inmates and kept in a separate location, with two armed officers assigned to guard his cell following a profiling assessment.
According to the police source, the two armed officers stayed on the scene until Bobrisky was escorted out and placed in the ambulance for transport to the Police Hospital, Falomo.
Vanguard reports that when he was approached inside the ambulance and asked for his name, he identified himself as Idris.
In the ambulance, a female nurse and a fully armed police officer stood by to ensure his safety. He was carefully positioned on a stretcher within the ambulance.
