BOBRISKY IN FRESH STORM…AS FG ORDERS INVESTIGATION INTO HIS ALLEGED BRIBERY AT IKOYI CORRECTIONAL CENTRE

By Seun Adams
Less than 2 months after his release from Ikoyi Correctional Centre for Naira abuse, the Federal Government through the Ministry of Interior has ordered for an unconditional and comprehensive investigation into allegations of bribery and corruption within the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) leveled against Mr. Idris Okuneye popularly known as Bobrisky.

Meanwhile, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in the same vein has also called for investigation imputed against some of its officers while Bobrisky was serving 6 months jail term for allegedly bribing the officers with N15 million.

In a swift move, the Minister in charge of the Ministry, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has unequivocally condemned the alleged reprehensible behaviour, emphasizing that any form of indiscipline, unprofessionalism, and corruption will be met with zero tolerance and severe consequences within the paramilitary services under the Ministry’s purview.

The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Minister, Mr. Babatunde Alao, in a statement, said the Ministry will not tolerate any compromise on its core values of integrity, transparency, and accountability.

Tunji-Ojo, said: “We will leave no stone unturned in rooting out corruption and ensuring that those found culpable face the full wrath of the law.”

The Minister has called for a special investigative team headed by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani, to probe these allegations and submit a comprehensive report.

The Minister reassures the public that the investigation will be rigorous, transparent, and impartial, and that appropriate disciplinary actions will be taken against any personnel found guilty.
