Bobrisky: FG orders investigation into alleged bribery, corruption in Nigerian prisons

The Federal Government has directed a comprehensive investigation into the allegations of bribery and corruption within the Nigerian Correctional Service, NCoS.

The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, gave the order in a statement issued on Wednesday by his media aide, Babatunde Alao.

DAILY POST reports that the development followed reports that a crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, who was sentenced to prison earlier this year, did not serve his jail term inside the correctional centre.

In a viral audio leaked by a popular social critic, Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan or VDM, Bobrisky’s alleged voice was heard telling a friend that he spent his jail term in an apartment near the correctional facility.

According to the leaked audio, upon his sentencing, an undisclosed godfather called a top senior officer in the prison service, who allegedly rented an apartment for the crossdresser.

Reacting, the minister said that any form of indiscipline, unprofessionalism and corruption in the service will attract severe consequences
