Nigerian crossdresser, Okuneye Olanrewaju, popularly known as Bobrisky, reportedly spent only three weeks in Kirikiri prison following a six-month sentence for naira abuse in April.
According to a prison official, “Bob spent only three weeks here with us in Kirikiri before he was taken out to another place we don’t know. That was where he spent his time; it was an ‘arrangee thing’. And money was involved.”
The official revealed that Bobrisky was “guarded like a president” until she was secretly taken away after three weeks, receiving VIP treatment throughout her brief stay. “She lived in a special cell.
The money she said she paid is actually true; no lies. Yes, she paid the money,” the source added.
These allegations surfaced after social media personality Martins Vincent Otse, known online as VeryDarkMan, shared a recorded phone conversation in which Bobrisky allegedly admitted to serving the majority of her sentence outside of prison and paying N15 million to have the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) drop charges of ‘money laundering’ against her.
In response to the controversy, Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has ordered “an unconditional and comprehensive investigation into the allegations of bribery and corruption within the Nigerian Correctional Service.”
