The Nigeria Correctional Service has dismissed reports that Idris Okuneye, known as Bobrisky, who was handed a six-month prison sentence over abuse of the naira notes, was moved from the Ikoyi custodial centre to its other facility in Kirikiri, Lagos State.
He was alleged to have been transferred to Kirikiri maximum prison over the weekend, according to news from some quarters.
However, an official of NCoS said the controversial cross dresser is still at Ikoyi custodial Centre as he did not commit a capital offense.
“Bobrisky has not been moved, he is still here in Ikoyi. He was not sentenced to death and didn’t get a life sentence either. Those people sentenced to death and given life sentences are mostly kept in the maximum prison. That is mostly based on capital punishment. As for Bobrisky, he didn’t commit a capital offence, so why would they take him to Kirikiri,” the source said.
However, it is being rumored that some inmates will be moved to decongest the Ikoyi Facility.
