Bobrisky Was Guided Like President, Only Spent 3 Weeks In Kirikiri Prison – Source

Nigeria Correctional Service Confirms Gender Section Bobrisky Would Be Kept In Ikoyi Prison

Nigerian cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, has become the center of controversy following revelations about his alleged brief prison stay.

Initially sentenced to six months for naira abuse in April, Bobrisky reportedly spent only three weeks behind bars, raising eyebrows regarding the integrity of the Nigerian Correctional Service.

In a recent phone conversation released by social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, Bobrisky allegedly confessed to serving his term outside prison.

Sources indicate that the controversial figure paid ₦15 million to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to have ‘money laundering’ charges expunged from her record.

These startling claims have reignited discussions about corruption within Nigeria’s prison system.

Interior Minister, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has responded by ordering an “unconditional and comprehensive investigation into the allegations of bribery and corruption within the Nigerian Correctional Service.”

While Bobrisky was officially sentenced in April and taken to the notorious Kirikiri prison, sources close to the situation have disclosed to FIJ that she managed to leave just three weeks later.

Officially, her release was recorded in August, prompting widespread skepticism about the circumstances surrounding her incarceration and release.

A prison official told FIJ, “Bob spent only three weeks here with us in Kirikiri before she was taken out to another place we don’t know.

“That was where she spent her time; it was an ‘arrangee thing’. And money was involved.”

The source revealed how Bobrisky was “guarded like a president” until he was “secretly taken away after three weeks.”

“(S)he received VIP treatment all through,”said the source. “(S)he lived in a special cell. The money (s)he said she paid is actually true; no lies. Yes, (s)he paid the money.”

Although the prison authorities did not allow Bobrisky to mingle freely with other inmates, consequently reducing the chances of his eventual disappearance being spotted, the prison official told FIJ about one noteworthy incident.

“There was this day one guy was on a video call with his girlfriend, and he suddenly turned the camera on Bobrisky,” the official said. “It was deemed an invasion of Bobrisky’s privacy, so, as punishment, he was locked up in his cell for nearly two months.”

The source added, “As I said, s()he was heavily guarded, so there weren’t many of such incidents to point at. And (s)he was quietly taken away after three weeks.”
