- The panel also exposed the extraordinary privileges the controversial crossdresser enjoyed while behind bars
- The panel indicted the Nigerian Correctional Service for giving Bobrisky special treatment in custody and recommended prosecuting VDM
A panel set up by the federal government to investigate claims that crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, didn’t serve his six-month term in prison, has submitted its report.
According to PUNCH, the independent investigative panel revealed that Bobrisky was kept in a soundproofed cell, stating that the ex-convict enjoyed extraordinary privileges, including the use of mobile phones, self-feeding and visitation by his family members and friends as frequently and in the numbers they desired at both the Medium Security and Maximum Security Custodial Centres in Kirikiri, Lagos.

Also, a fellow inmate was assigned to attend to his personal needs.
Such privileges, the panel said, were far beyond what is permissible under Nigerian correctional law.
FG's panel's recommendations
The panel recommended that the Department of State Services be requested to investigate the crossdresser directly or through a proxy bribed EFCC or NCoS officials and that, if substantiated, he should face charges under anti-corruption laws.
The panel further recommended that the NCoS file defamation suits against Bobrisky citing his “false claims about bypassing the prison system, tarnishing the institution’s reputation.”
On social media critic, VeryDarkMan, the panel recommended that he be charged with libel for disseminating unverified claims that defamed government officials and agencies, Incitement, and data privacy violations.
Recall that Bobrisky was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment on April 12, 2024, for naira abuse and was released on August 5 after completing the jail term.
After his release, VeryDarkMan shared an audio recording purportedly of a conversation between Bobrisky and another individual, with bold claims involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and officials of the Nigerian Correctional Service.
