A fresh revelation appears to corroborate the claim that Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, the cross-dresser jailed for six months for the offence of naira abuse, spent only three weeks in Kikiri Prison. The remaining time was in a private apartment.
An investigation by FIJ quoted prison sources and associates of Bobrisky corroborating the claim made by Bobrisky himself in a leaked phone conversation published by Martins Vincent Otse, a social media user popularly known as VeryDarkMan.
In the phone conversation, Bobrisky confessed to serving his term outside the prison and paying N15 million to have the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) expunge ‘money laundering’ from the charges against him.
FIJ, in an investigation of the claim, said it contacted sources familiar with the matter while Bobrisky was in Kirikiri and those sources confirmed that the cross-dresser spent only three weeks.
‘GUARDED LIKE A PRESIDENT’
“Bob spent only three weeks here with us in Kirikiri before she was taken out to another place we don’t know,” FIJ quoted a prison official. “That was where she spent her time; it was an ‘arrangee thing’. And money was involved.”
The source also told FIJ how Bobrisky was “guarded like a president” until she was “secretly taken away after three weeks”.
“She received VIP treatment all through,” said the source. “She lived in a special cell. The money she paid is true; no lies. Yes, she paid the money.”
According to the FIJ report, during Bobrisky’s three weeks in prison, authorities did not allow him to mingle freely with other inmates, consequently reducing the chances of his eventual disappearance being spotted.
“There was this day one guy was on a video call with his girlfriend, and he suddenly turned the camera on Bobrisky,” the official said. “It was deemed an invasion of Bobrisky’s privacy, so, as punishment, he was locked up in his cell for nearly two months.”
The source added: “As I said, she was heavily guarded, so there weren’t many of such incidents to point at. And she was quietly taken away after three weeks.”
BUT JAMES BROWN VISITED BOBRISKY IN PRISON?
Since Otse released the audio, some social media users have been wondering whom James Brown, another crossdresser, met with when she announced on June 8 that she had gone to visit Bobrisky at Kirikiri.
“By the time James visited, Bobrisky was no longer in prison,” a source in James’ camp told FIJ on Thursday.
“James went there to see one guy called Vindicate who had invited her to join in recording a song from prison. The prison authorities liked the idea of a song recorded from prison, so they let her come.
“I don’t know why James lied that she went to see Bobrisky; maybe for clout. I will send you videos of James in prison with the people she went there to see. But have you ever seen just one photo of Bob and James in prison?”
