An investigative report by FIJ reveals that social media
influencer and crossdresser, Bobrisky spent only three weeks of her or his
sentence in prison and the rest in a secret location
Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, the Nigerian crossdresser
popularly known as Bobrisky served only three weeks of his six-month sentence
in prison, a report by FIJ has revealed.
The report follows the revelation on Tuesday by Martins
Vincent Otse, a social media activist popularly known as VeryDarkMan of an
audio in which Bobrisky was alleged to have claimed that he spent his sentence
mostly out of prison and that he compromised operatives of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) with N15m to drop the ‘money laundering’
charge against him.
According to the FIJ report, while Bobrisky was indeed taken
to Kirikiri prison in April after his sentence was pronounced, the news report
deposes that he left after just three weeks.
According to the FIJ report, Bobrisky was guided like a
president for the three weeks he spent in prison before he was moved out.
GWG.ng had also reported that Bobrisky looked very chubby
after he came out of prison spurning reports as to whether he became pregnant
while in custody.
‘GUARDED LIKE A
PRESIDENT’
“Bob spent only three weeks here with us in Kirikiri before he
was taken out to another place we don’t know,” a prison official told FIJ.
“That was where he spent his time; it was an ‘arrangee thing’. And money was
involved.”
The source also told FIJ how Bobrisky was “guarded like a
president” until he was “secretly taken away after three weeks”.
“He received VIP treatment all through,” said the source. “He
lived in a special cell. The money he said he paid is actually true; no lies.
Yes, he paid the money.”
The revelations by the source are in consonance with a 2019
undercover investigation by FIJ founder ‘Fisayo Soyombo, for which he
deliberately got himself detained for five days by the police and incarcerated
for eight days by the prison service, discovering that it was possible to pay
money to live in well-furnihed apartments inside prisons, pay to bring in
phones, drugs and sundry outlawed items, strike one’s name off the prison
records and even live outside the prison while supposedly serving out a jail
term.
VIDEO CALL CAMERA ON
BOBRISKY
Although the prison authorities did not allow Bobrisky to
mingle freely with other inmates, consequently reducing the chances of his
eventual disappearance being spotted, the prison official told FIJ about one
noteworthy incident.
“There was this day
one guy was on a video call with his girlfriend, and he suddenly turned the
camera on Bobrisky,” the official said. “It was deemed an invasion of
Bobrisky’s privacy, so, as punishment, he was locked up in his cell for nearly
two months.”
The source added: “As I said, he was heavily guarded, so
there weren’t many of such incidents to point at. And he was quietly taken away
after three weeks.”
