Controversial Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, may face fresh criminal charges over claims of serving his jail term in a private apartment and bribing officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to drop money laundering charges against him. Sunday Telegraph recalls that the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has ordered a probe into the case after the controversial activist, VeryDarkMan, shared an audio recording of Bobrisky claiming that he bribed some EFCC officials with N15 million to drop the money laundering charge against him and also bribed officials of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) to serve his six-month sentence in a private apartment. In the audio recording, Bobrisky claimed that a “Godfather” alongside Haliru Nababa, the controller general of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), ensured she served the six-month sentence in a private apartment and not in prison.
While presenting its report, the panel said there was no evidence that Bobrisky slept outside the Kirikiri Custodial Centre during his six-month sentence. However in a fresh update, details of the report, obtained by Sunday PUNCH , revealed that a panel set up to investigate Bobrisky’s claims recommended that he should face defamation and criminal charges..
