Bobrisky Had Fridge, Private Calls, and Special Privileges in Custody
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

In a nation where fairness is often questioned, the latest revelations about Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, and his plush stay behind bars only increases the temp. Yes, Bobrisky, Nigeria’s self-proclaimed queen of social media, served a six-month jail sentence. But according to a government panel, it wasn’t your average prison stay. It was more like a vacation.

The Federal Government panel set up to investigate bribery allegations surrounding the controversial crossdresser revealed on Monday that, while Bobrisky did serve his time, he enjoyed quite a luxurious prison experience. Uju Agomoh, a member of the panel, disclosed that “Mr. Okuneye was provided with a furnished single cell, a humidifier, regular visits from friends and family, self-feeding privileges, designated inmates to run errands, access to a fridge and television, and possibly even his phone.”

Bobrisky got the VIP treatment in jail. And let’s not forget the part where he was transferred from Kuje Custodial Centre to the swankier Maximum Security Custodial Centre in Lagos. All this for a first offender? The panel rightly pointed out that this transfer violated Sections 164A and 164B of the Nigerian Correctional Service Act of 2019.

It doesn’t end there. The panel also recommended that clear guidelines be established for handling such “special” inmates in the future to avoid the glaring discrepancies between the treatment of wealthy or influential inmates and, well, everyone else. “Steps should be taken to avoid the obvious discriminatory practices in relation to the socio-economic levels and other status of inmates,” Agomoh stated, as if this whole scenario wasn’t the definition of discrimination.

Bobrisky’s Million-Dollar Scandal

But how did Bobrisky even land in jail in the first place? Back in April 2024, Bobrisky pleaded guilty to naira abuse during his infamous naira-spraying incident. According to a blogger, Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, Bobrisky allegedly paid ₦15 million to some officers of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to make the money laundering charges vanish.

However, despite the hefty payout, Bobrisky was sentenced to six months behind bars. He was released in August, but not before allegations surfaced that he paid additional millions to secure his “choice” place in prison. Because, clearly, in Nigeria, even prison is for sale.

The EFCC and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) opened investigations into these allegations, with the House of Representatives also stepping in. Several NCoS senior officers have since been suspended, and on September 30, 2024, the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, inaugurated a committee to investigate claims of gross misconduct within the NCoS, with Bobrisky’s case being a central focus.

“No one will be shielded, no matter how highly placed,” Tunji-Ojo boldly declared. But with Bobrisky’s prison privileges, it’s hard not to wonder if justice really applies to everyone.

A Farce of Accountability

The entire situation exposes a glaring issue in Nigeria’s justice system, one where wealth and influence seem to override fairness. While many inmates languish in overcrowded cells with little to no access to basic amenities, Bobrisky’s prison experience resembled that of a luxury retreat. What message does this send to the public?

If Bobrisky can enjoy such comforts behind bars, what hope is there for ordinary Nigerians seeking justice? The so-called “correctional” system has been laid bare, revealing not rehabilitation or correction, but privilege for those who can afford it.
