Bobrisky: FG Suspends Senior Prisons Officers Over Bribery Allegations

FG has suspended senior prisons officers over bribery allegations about Bobrisky saga.

Glamtush reports that the Federal Government has suspended some senior officers of the Nigerian Correctional Service over bribery allegations regarding controversial crossdresser Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky.

 

The officers were suspended after a voice note shared by Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, in which Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, claimed that after his conviction and sentencing for abuse of the naira notes in April, his godfather, in collaboration with the Controller General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, arranged for him to serve his six-month sentence in a private apartment.

Those suspended according to a memo on Thursday which was signed by the secretary of the board, Ja’afaru Ahmed, are the Deputy Controller of Corrections In-Charge of Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kiri-kiri, Lagos State, Michael Anugwa and Deputy Controller of Corrections In-Charge of MSCC Kiri-Kiri Lagos State, Sikiru Adekunle.

It read, “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, DCC, In-Charge of MSCC, Kiri-kiri, Lagos State; and Sikiru Adekunle, DCC, In-Charge of MSCC, Kiri-kiri, Lagos State.”

According to the memo, an officer serving at the MSCC in Afikpo, Ebonyi State, Ogbule Obinna was suspended for accompanying an inmate out of the facility.

“Also, the Board has suspended ASC II Ogbule Obinna, serving at the MSCC, Afikpo, Ebonyi State, for allegedly accompanying a convicted inmate out of the Custodial Centre to a location outside the facility,” it added.

Another senior officer of the service serving at the Kuje MSCC, DCC Iloafonsi Ikechukwu was equally suspended for allegedly receiving money on behalf of an inmate.

“In another related development, the Board has equally suspended another Senior Officer of the Service, Iloafonsi Kevin Ikechukwu, Deputy Controller of Corrections, In-Charge of Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kuje-Abuja, for allegedly receiving monies on behalf of an inmate,” the memo added.

Ahmed, however, said their suspension was to allow proper investigation into the allegations against them.

He said, “The suspension of these Officers is to allow for further investigation on the various allegations while assuring that the outcome would be made public when concluded.”
