The Federal Government investigative panel constituted for the controversy surrounding the jail sentence involving Nigerian crossdreser Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky, has disclosed its findings.
Naija News recalls that on September 30, the minister of interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, constituted an investigative panel chaired by the permanent secretary of the ministry of interior, Magdalena Ajani, on ‘Alleged Corruption & Other Violations Against the Nigerian Correctional Service.’

Tunji-Ojo had ordered a probe after the controversial activist, VeryDarkMan, shared a video in which Bobrisky purportedly claimed that he bribed some Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) officials to drop the money laundering charge against him.

In the footage, a voice allegedly belonging to Bobrisky also claimed that a “godfather” alongside Haliru Nababa, the controller general of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), ensured she served the six-month sentence in a private apartment and not in prison.

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 found no evidence that Bobrisky slept outside the prison walls after he was sentenced but enjoyed several privileges.
