Recent developments indicate that the controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, famously known as Bobrisky, has been relocated from the Ikoyi Correctional Center to the Kirikiri Prison by the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS).
Contrary to earlier reports suggesting that Bobrisky remained at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre, a credible source within the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) confirmed to LEADERSHIP that the social media personality was discreetly transferred to Kirikiri Prison over the weekend.
Explaining the decision, the source stated, “It is procedural that he is moved to Kirikiri since it is an expansive prison compared to what we have here.”
He added that due to security reasons, Okuneye was quietly moved to the facility where he will serve his term.
The source further emphasised that Okuneye was transferred quietly to ensure security, and he will serve his term at the facility.
It’s worth recalling that Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos sentenced Bobrisky to six months imprisonment.
The judge highlighted that the verdict aims to deter others from abusing and defacing the naira.
Despite being identified as male based on his admission in court, Bobrisky’s gender or genital organs haven’t undergone any realignment, according to reports.
The source confirmed that the convict has been placed in the male cell alongside other inmates and will be treated as such during his incarceration.
