Prison Insiders Speak - Bobrisky's Shocking Separation Explained

Bobrisky's Prison Ordeal - The Real Reason for Solitary Confinement

“He looks like a woman, moves like a woman, and there are homosexual inmates who would be willing to take things to extreme lengths.”

Bobrisky's prison scandal deepens: Bribery allegations, suspension of officials & Nigerian Correctional Service's response revealed.

Prison experts have shed light on the separation of Idris Okuneye, infamously known as Bobrisky, from fellow inmates at the correctional facility, debunking rumors of luxurious quarters.

According to Bishop Kayode Williams, Director General of the Prison Rehabilitation Mission, inmates are categorized and housed accordingly. “We have different accommodations for various categories of inmates,” he clarified. “This includes vulnerable persons, those with medical conditions, and high-profile inmates.”

Bishop Williams emphasized that Bobrisky's separation was due to his high-profile status and vulnerability, not preferential treatment. “It's standard procedure to ensure the safety and well-being of sensitive inmates,” he stated.

The clarification comes amidst public speculation surrounding Bobrisky's living conditions. Bishop Williams reassured that the correctional facility prioritizes rehabilitation and provides equal opportunities for all inmates to reform.

He said, “There are accommodations for condemned prisoners, those sentenced to death, who must not mingle with other inmates.

“The second accommodation is convicted inmates, who are the owners of the prison.”

Williams provided context on Idris' case, adding: “The accommodation that is provided for males, are they going to bring Idris with his transgender body or look to go and sleep in the general cell?

“The first thing they do is decide how to treat someone like that.

“They provided him a special place for protective custody because, with his appearance, he would be in danger.

“He looks like a woman, moves like a woman, and there are homosexual inmates who would be willing to take things to extreme lengths.”

 Francis Enobore, former National PRO of the Nigerian Correctional Service, echoed Bishop Kayode Williams' sentiments, shedding light on the service's profiling process for inmates. According to Enobore, this profiling is crucial for ensuring both the inmates' safety and maintaining a secure prison environment. Essentially, the Nigerian Correctional Service takes a tailored approach to rehabilitation, considering each inmate's unique needs and circumstances to foster a supportive and non-threatening atmosphere.

This profiling enables the service to categorize inmates based on their individual requirements, such as vulnerability, medical conditions, or high-profile status. By doing so, the service can provide targeted support and interventions, ultimately promoting successful reintegration into society upon release. This holistic approach underscores the Nigerian Correctional Service's commitment to rehabilitation and reformation, moving beyond punitive measures to empower inmates for a brighter future.

 

“Yes, he confessed in court that he is a man but he came in bodily showing that he is a woman.

“Some of the people behind bars are unrepentant homosexuals.

“There is no doubt that if care is not taken, we will have a very serious security situation on our hands,” he said.

Enobore addressed rumors surrounding Idris' accommodations, stressing that the Nigerian Correctional Service does not offer private sections to inmates, including high-profile individuals.

Enobore categorically denied allegations of Idris receiving luxurious housing, reaffirming the service's commitment to equal treatment for all inmates.

Controversy surrounding Idris' incarceration escalated after Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, released a voice note where Idris allegedly claimed special treatment. According to the voice note, following his April conviction for abusing naira notes, Idris' godfather and the Controller General of the Nigerian Correctional Service supposedly arranged for him to serve his six-month sentence in a private apartment. 

However, Francis Enobore, former National PRO of the Nigerian Correctional Service, denied these allegations, stating that Idris was not given a private section. This development comes as the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board announced the suspension of two deputy controllers at the Kirikiri Medium Custodial Centre in Lagos, effective September 26, due to their connection to Idris' alleged bribery claims.

In response to the allegations, Bishop Kayode Williams, Director General of the Prison Rehabilitation Mission, clarified that inmates are categorized and housed based on their individual needs, which may include vulnerability, medical conditions, or high-profile status Williams emphasized that this profiling ensures both the inmates' safety and the overall security of the prison environment.
