Two Correctional Service Officers In Lagos Suspended Over Bobrisky
Two officers of the Nigeria Correctional Service at the Kirikiri Medium Custodial Centre in Lagos identified as Michael Anugwa, who is the Deputy Controller of Corrections In-Charge of Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kiri-kiri, Lagos State, and Deputy Controller of Corrections In-Charge of MSCC Kiri-Kiri Lagos State, Sikiru Adekunle have been suspended.
The suspension of the duo was contained in a memo on Thursday which was signed by the secretary of the board, Ja’afaru Ahmed.
Didactic Information Hut recalls that the officers were suspended following a voice note shared by Martins Otse, a.k.a. VeryDarkMan, in which Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, claimed that after his conviction and sentencing for abuse of the naira notes in April, his godfather, in collaboration with the Controller General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, arranged for him to serve his six-month sentence in a private apartment.
But Bobrisky in his reaction denied the allegation describing the now viral audio as fake.
“Following the viral video trending on social media on alleged infractions by Officers of the Nigerian Correctional Service relating to Mr. Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has suspended forthwith the following Senior Officers of the Service:
Ahmed, however, said their suspension was to allow proper investigation into the allegations against them.
He added that, “The suspension of these Officers is to allow for further investigation on the various allegations while assuring that the outcome would be made public when concluded.”
