The panel, however, noted that Bobrisky was granted certain privileges during his time at the Kirikiri Medium Security Custodial Centre in Lagos.

The panel, chaired by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani, also found no evidence to support claims that the crossdresser bribed officials of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCos) to be allowed to stay in a rented apartment outside the prison.

LEADERSHIP recalls that Bobrisky was released from prison on August 5 after serving out his six-month jail term, following his sentencing on April 12 for violating laws regarding the abuse of the Naira notes.

The investigation was launched by the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, following allegations stemming from a viral audio recordings shared by social media activist, Martins Otse, a.k.a. VeryDarkMan. In the audio, Bobrisky allegedly claimed to have bribed officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to drop money laundering charges against him.

Additionally, Bobrisky’s voice was heard claiming that a “godfather’ in connivance with the Controller General of the NCoS, Haliru Nababa, ensured that he served his sentence in a private apartment rather than a prison facility.

In response to public outry over allegations, the Federal Government established an investigative panel on September 30, chaired by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior. The panel was tasked with probing the alleged corruption and other violations within the Nigerian Correctional Service.

Presenting the findings from the first phase of the investigation on Monday, Uju Agomoh, the Executive Director and Founder of Prisoners’ Rehabilitation and Welfare Action (PRAWA), confirmed that the panel found no evidence suggesting that Bobrisky spent his jail term outside of a custodial facility.

“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,” Agomoh stated during a briefing at the Ministry of Interior in Abuja. She also noted that Bobrisky’s six-month sentence included the usual remission applicable to inmates.

The panel’s report cleared rumours of Bobrisky serving her sentence in a private apartment but confirmed that special privileges were afforded to the crossdresser during his time in custody.

Further details from the investigation may emerge as the panel continued its probe into alleged corruption within the NCoS.
