Sunday, April 28, 2024 -The Lagos State Command of the Nigerian Correctional Service has dismissed reports claiming that incarcerated crossdresser, Idris Okuneye a.k.a. Bobrisky, is being accommodated in a one-bedroom apartment for Very Important Persons VIP at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre.
Online
reports had claimed that Bobrisky, who is serving a six-month prison sentence
for abuse of the naira notes, was occupying a newly built VIP apartment in the
Kirikiri correctional centre.
However,
in a statement released, the NCoS spokesperson, Rotimi Oladokun, said the
correctional centre had no en-suite style cells.
The
statement reads.
“The attention of the Nigerian Correctional Service Lagos State
Command has been drawn to some mischievous and misleading online publications.
Without prejudice to NCoS right to seek legal redress for the libelous
publication, outlined are clarifications on the said issues.
The convicted inmate, Okuneye Idris
Olanrewaju a.k.a. Bobrisky is currently serving a six-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.
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.”
