Correctional service assures protection of Bobrisky in male cell

• Officials from the Nigerian Correctional Service have assured the safety of Mr Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky in the male section of the prison facility throughout his six-month imprisonment.

• The decision came after Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court sentenced Bobrisky to jail following his guilty plea to a four-count charge of naira abuse. 

•  During the court proceedings, Bobrisky clarified his gender status, affirming that he identifies as a man.

• Prison officials, however, assured that adequate measures would be taken to protect Bobrisky from potential sexual violations from other inmates.

• “He shouldn’t be afraid of sexual assault from other male inmates because our men can give him protection,” they assured.
