- Nigerian transgender woman Bobrisky, known as Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, was sentenced to six months for naira abuse in April, but only spent three weeks in prison.
- Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, revealed that Bobrisky served her sentence outside prison after paying N15 million to the EFCC for’money laundering’ charges dismissed.
- The recent revelations have sparked discussions about corruption within Nigerian prisons, prompting Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo to call for an unconditional investigation into bribery and corruption allegations.
A prison official stated, “Bob spent only three weeks here with us in Kirikiri before she was taken out to another place we don’t know. That was where she spent her time; it was an ‘arrange thing’. And money was involved.”
The source further elaborated that Bobrisky received preferential treatment during her incarceration, noting, “She was guarded like a president,” and mentioned that she resided in a special cell. They confirmed the legitimacy of the payment she referred to.
