The Lagos State Command of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has moved to dispel rumors surrounding the accommodation of controversial cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, within its facility.

Okay.ng reports that Bobrisky is currently serving a six-month prison sentence for the abuse of naira notes, following a ruling by Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos on Friday, April 12, 2024.

Contrary to reports circulating online, the NCoS, in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Rotimi Oladokun, clarified that Bobrisky shares a cell with other convicted inmates and does not occupy a VIP apartment in the Kirikiri correctional center.

Oladokun emphasized that there are no en-suite or ‘one-bedroom flat’ style cells in the Custodial Centre, and infrastructure is built as shared buildings to accommodate multiple inmates.

“The attention of the Nigerian Correctional Service Lagos State Command has been drawn to some mischievous and misleading online publications,” the statement read.

“Without prejudice to NCoS right to seek legal redress for the libellous publication, outlined are clarification on the said issues.

“The convicted inmate, Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju aka Bobrisky is currently serving a 6-month jail term for abuse and mutilation of the Naira note within the custody of the Custodial Centre in the State.

“The Convict is entitled to the reformative and rehabilitative platforms either educational and/or vocational training as provided to all inmates in custody.

“Idris has been allocated a shared cell with other convicted inmates. There are no en-suite or ‘one-bedroom flat’ style cells in our Custodial Centre as the cell blocks infrastructure are built as shared buildings, to accommodate multiple inmates.”

Furthermore, Oladokun stressed that Bobrisky, remanded in a male Custodial Centre, adheres to all regulations and rules, particularly concerning dress code, and wears male-designated correctional clothing like other convicted inmates.

He said: “Idris is being treated just as every other inmate without any special amenities or privilege accorded. All inmates are entitled to Family and Legal visits. These visits are monitored and regulated by NCoS. The Controller of Corrections, Lagos Command enjoined the general public to disregard the said malicious publication.”
