Bobrisky served jail term in prison but enjoyed several privileges — FG panel
The crossdresser was released from prison on August 5
An investigative panel has said it found no evidence that Idris Okuneye, a popular crossdresser known as Bobrisky, slept outside prison walls after she was sentenced.
The crossdresser was released from prison on August 5 after she was sentenced to six months on April 12 for abusing the naira.
Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, minister of interior, had ordered a probe after VeryDarkMan, an activist, shared a video in which Bobrisky purportedly claimed that she bribed some Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) officials to drop the money laundering charge against her.
Reading the phase one report of the panel at the ministry of interior on Monday, Uju Agomoh, executive director and founder of Prisoners’ Rehabilitation and Welfare Action (PRAWA), 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”.
It would be recalled that earlier today, VeryDark in a new video shared on his Instagram page disclosed that the crossdresser has been arrested by the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS).
According to the activist Bobrisky was arrested by the officers of the Nigerian Immigration on his way to escape from Nigeria to Benin Republic.
