The Federal Government has vowed that nobody involved in the alleged bribery saga involving a crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, will escape punishment. Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, made the vow at a press briefing to mark his one year in office, on Friday in Abuja.
The minister had earlier ordered a comprehensive investigation into allegations of bribery and corruption within the Nigerian Correctional Service, NCoS. Tunji-Ojo gave the order following reports that Bobrisky, who was sentenced to prison earlier this year, did not serve his jail term inside the correctional centre.
Another senior officer, Iloafonsi Kevin Ikechukwu, Deputy Controller of Corrections , in-charge of Medium Security Custodial Centre , Kuje, Abuja, was suspended for allegedly receiving monies on behalf of an inmate. Speaking on the bribery and corruption saga that is currently rocking the country's correctional service, Tunji-Ojo urged Nigerians to be patient, and wait for the conclusion of the investigation. But he assured that all those involved will face the music.
