 Bobrisky’s Saga Is A Reflection Of Institutional Lapses, Says FG

Bobrisky, a popular cross-dresser whose real name is Idris Okuneye, has been embroiled in a saga over his jail time for naira abuse.


In a viral audio, the cross-dresser claimed to have paid some officials of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) to get special treatment in prison.

“When you have an insittutional problem, you don’t just provide a knee-jerk approach to solving it,” he said.

Tunji-Ojo said reforming Nigeria’s institutions is the way forward in resolving similar issues that may occur in the future.


“We cannot transfer today’s problem to the future,” the minister said.
