An Independent Investigative Panel set up by the Federal Government to investigate the detention conditions of crossdresser, Okuneye Olanrewaju, popularly known as Bobrisky, has revealed that he was kept in a soundproofed cell.
The panel said the ex-convict enjoyed extraordinary privileges, including the use of mobile phones across two custodial centres in Lagos.
Such privileges, the panel said, were far beyond what is permissible under Nigerian correctional law.
The panel also recommended the prosecution of social media activist, Martins Otse, known as Very Dark Man, over allegations of data privacy violations and incitement.
Bobrisky was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment on April 12, 2024, for naira abuse and was released on August 5 after completing the jail term.
Weeks after his release, Very Dark Man shared an audio recording purportedly of a conversation between Bobrisky and another individual.
In the recording, Bobrisky allegedly claimed that he paid N15m to officials
