PRISON OFFICIALS SUSPENDED OVER BRIBERY ALLEGATION INVOLVING BOBRISKY
Things are developing fast over the bribery allegations leveled against some officials of Nigerian prisons, in connection with cross dresser popularly known as Bobrisky.
This is because the Federal Government has suspended the officers in charge of the Maximum and Minimum Custodial Centres, Kirikiri, Lagos State, where he was held before eventual release.
Their suspension is a fallout of the audio leak indicating that Bobrisky whose full name is, Idris Okuneye was given preferential treatment, to the point of being given an apartment outside the custodial centre.
Secretary of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board, CDCFIB, Ja’afaru Ahmed, in a statement stated the suspension of the officers iwas to allow for further investigation of the allegations of the Bobrisky case.
“Following the viral video trending on social media on alleged infractions by Officers of the Nigerian Correctional Service relating to Mr. Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has suspended forthwith the following Senior Officers of the Service.
“Michael Anugwa, Deputy Controller of Corrections (DCC), In-Charge of Medium Security Custodial Centre (MSCC), Kiri-kiri, Lagos State; and Sikiru Adekunle, Deputy Controller of Corrections (DCC), In-Charge of Maximum-Security Custodial Centre (MSCC), Kiri-kiri, Lagos State.
“Also, the Board has suspended ASC II Ogbule Samuel Obinna, serving at the Medium Security Custodial Centre (MSCC), Afikpo, Ebonyi State, for allegedly accompanying a convicted inmate out of the Custodial Centre to a location outside the facility.
“In a related development, the Board has equally suspended another Senior Officer of the Service, Iloafonsi Kevin Ikechukwu, Deputy Controller of Corrections (DCC), In-Charge of Medium Security Custodial Centre (MSCC), Kuje- Abuja, for allegedly receiving monies on behalf of an inmate”.
Recall our story yesterday of Bobrisky alleging that some officers of the Economic And Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) received N15 million from him so they could dismiss money laundering charges preferred against him by the commission.
The commission has since commenced investigations into the allegations duly inviting Bobrisky and social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, who allegedly produced the video which broadcast the allegation to provide clarifications.
The fear is rife that heads may indeed roll at the prisons over the now complicated matter.
