The Nigerian Correctional Service’s Lagos State Command has refuted internet rumours that a newly constructed one-bedroom VIP apartment in the Kirikiri correctional facility is being occupied by imprisoned transvestite Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky. Okuneye is serving a six-month sentence for abusing naira notes.
In addition to asserting that the detention facility lacked en suite style cells, NCoS spokeswoman Rotimi Oladokun said, “The attention of the Nigerian Correctional Service Lagos State Command has been drawn to some mischievous and misleading online publications. Without prejudice to NCoS right to seek legal redress for the libelous publication, outlined are clarifications on the said issues.
The convicted inmate, Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju a.k.a. Bobrisky is currently serving a six-month jail term for abuse and mutilation of the naira note within the custody of the custodial centre in the state.
The Convict is entitled to the reformative and rehabilitative platforms either educational and/or vocational training as provided to all inmates in custody.

Idris has been allocated a shared cell with other convicted inmates. There are no en-suite or ‘one-bedroom flat’ style cells in our Custodial Centre as the cell blocks infrastructure are built as shared buildings, to accommodate multiple inmates.
Idris is being treated just as every other inmate without any special amenities or privilege accorded. All inmates are entitled to family and legal visits. These visits are monitored and regulated by NCoS.
The Controller of Corrections, Lagos Command enjoined the general public to disregard the said malicious publication.”
