No Law Suggests That Crossdressing Is A Crime In Nigeria – Police Spokesman

The debate surrounding crossdressing and sexuality has been stirring conversations across social media platforms in Nigeria. However, the Spokesman of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has firmly stated that there is no legal provision in Nigeria suggesting that individuals who engage in crossdressing should be subject to arrest.In a recent appearance as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today, ACP Adejobi emphasized that the offenses for which individuals are typically apprehended are more aligned with natural offenses or crimes against nature. He asserted that without substantial evidence, it's unreasonable to detain someone merely for crossdressing, as it is not considered a crime under Nigerian law."I have not read anywhere that crossdressing is an offence in Nigeria….
