Controversial Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okunneye, better known as Bobrisky, has been released from prison.
Bobrisky served a six-month prison sentence for abusing naira notes, as handed down by Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos on April 12, 2024.
A video shared by Cable news captured Bobrisky alongside Nollywood actress, Eniola Ajao.
Another unidentified lady, also seen beside Eniola and Bobrisky, was heard congratulating the crossdresser.
It would be recalled that the Lagos State Command of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) issued a clarification regarding the conditions under which Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, was being held.
Rumours had circulated online suggesting that Bobrisky was residing in a VIP apartment within the Kirikiri correctional facility.
However, these claims have been firmly refuted by the NCoS. In a statement released on Saturday, the spokesperson for the Lagos State Command, Rotimi Oladokun, clarified that Bobrisky is not receiving any special treatment and shares a cell with other convicted inmates, contrary to what was speculated in various social media reports.
Oladokun emphasized that the correctional facility does not have en-suite or ‘one-bedroom flat’ style cells.
He further explained that the cell block infrastructure is designed to accommodate multiple inmates and does not support the provision of exclusive amenities for any individual.
