It has been alleged that controversial Nigerian cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky spent only three weeks behind bars, instead of the 6 months that he was given to serve by a court. This is according to a report by FIJ.
?
This has now raised eyebrows regarding the integrity of the Nigerian Correctional Service.
?
He was Initially sentenced to six months for naira abuse in April.
?
It all started after social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan released an alleged audio of Bobrisky allegedly confessed to serving his term outside prison.
?
He alleged that Bobrisky paid ₦15 million to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to have ‘money laundering’ charges expunged from her record.
?
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.”
