News Update

THE Federal Government has suspended four senior officers of the Nigerian Correctional Service over their role in Idris Okuneye’s saga.

The suspended officers are in charge of the Maximum and Medium Custodial Centres, Kirikiri, Lagos State, following an audio leak indicating that cross dresser, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky who was convicted of a crime and sentenced to six months in jail was given an apartment outside the custodial centre.

The Secretary of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board, CDCFIB, Ja’afaru Ahmed disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday, September 26.

According to Ahmed, the suspension of the officers is to allow for further investigation on the various allegations, assuring that the outcome would be made public when concluded.

The statement reads, “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.
