The investigative panel confirmed on Monday that there was no evidence to support the claim that Bobrisky, the famous crossdresser, spent his six-month jail term outside of prison.
The Executive Director of Prisoners’ Rehabilitation and Welfare Action, Uju Agomoh, made this announcement while presenting the phase one report at the Ministry of Interior.
Bobrisky, also known as Idris Okuneye, was released from prison on August 5 after serving a six-month sentence for naira mutilation.
Despite accusations from activist VeryDarkMan suggesting Bobrisky spent his sentence in a lodge rather than in Kirikiri prison due to a godfather’s influence, the panel found no basis for these claims.
On September 30, Tunji-Ojo constituted an investigative panel chaired by Magdalena Ajani, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, on ‘Alleged Corruption & Other Violations Against the Nigerian Correctional Service’.
However, Agomoh said the panel “did not find any evidence thus far that suggested that Mr Okuneye slept outside the custodial centre during the period of his imprisonment, which was from 12th April 2024 to the 5th August 2024, which is a six-month correctional sentence with the usual remission applicable”.
