Nigerians have continued to share their thoughts on what transpired during the six-month jail term of popular cross dresser, Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky.
Punch reports that sources in the know say Bobrisky who had prison number S682/2024, was taken to the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kirikiri after he was convicted on May 12 as his presence in began to attract attention and generate publicity at the Ikoyi prison where he was initially remanded.
A highly credible source said;
“He was first moved to the Ikoyi prison where he spent a few days before the controller, Ben-Rabbi Freedman, moved him to the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kirikiri.”
Another top source confirmed Bobrisky’s movement from the Ikoyi facility to the Medium Security Custodial Centre, adding that he spent some days there before he was again moved to the Maximum Security Custodial Centre, Kirikiri.
According to the source, Bobrisky was visited by some relatives in the prison, adding that there was a record of all his activities.
“Many people visited him in the place, including three family members. Those people followed due process and that was why they were able to see and visit him. I also saw him in the prison. He looked gentle and sober,” the source added.
According to the report, there was usually provisions for special cells for some inmates considered to be “Very Important Persons” who might be at risk if allowed to mingle with other inmates.
“The place is like a back cell or a single cell originally reserved for well-behaved inmates. This is in accordance with prison rules. They are put there to compensate for their good behaviour. However, when warders bring in certain people, they are taken there. They live whichever way they want. Some of the inmates furnish the place to their taste,” the source stated.
