The investigative panel established by Minister of Interior Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo to investigate allegations that cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, known as Bobrisky, served his six-month jail term in a private apartment rather than in a custodial centre has dismissed the claim.
Uju Agomoh, Executive Director and founder of Prisoners’ Rehabilitation and Welfare Action (PRAWA) and a member of the panel, stated that there was no evidence to support the assertion that Bobrisky was outside the prison during his sentence, which lasted from April 12, 2024, to August 5, 2024.

“The panel did not find any evidence thus far that suggested Mr. Okuneye slept outside the custodial centre during his period of imprisonment,” Uju said, as quoted by Vanguard.
She clarified that Bobrisky completed his six-month correctional sentence with the usual remission applicable in such cases, noting that investigations revealed he received certain privileges while incarcerated.
The panel was inaugurated by Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo in Abuja on Monday, September 30, following the release of an audio by VDM in which Bobrisky claimed to have served his sentence in a flat near the prison.
