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


The Minister of Interior Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo believes the Bobrisky saga is a reflection of institutional issues in the country. 


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.


According to Tunji-Ojo, the incident which had dominated conversations for months, is a reflection of institutional issues.


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


“We set up that committee to look into all the issues, beyond Bobrisky, beyond people absconding – it is a whole instutional issue.”


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.
