The controversy surrounding Bobrisky’s jail term in Kirikiri special cell has sparked intense debate among Nigerians. According to reports, Bobrisky, whose prison number was S682/2024, was initially remanded at the Ikoyi prison before being moved to the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kirikiri, due to the attention his presence was generating .
Sources claim that Bobrisky was eventually moved to the Maximum Security Custodial Centre, Kirikiri, where he was allegedly kept in a “special cell” reserved for high-profile inmates who require protection. These cells are supposedly furnished to the inmate’s taste, and the cost of using them is determined by the officer in charge .
It’s worth noting that the Nigerian Correctional Service has denied allegations of preferential treatment for VIP convicts, stating that all inmates receive the same treatment . However, the Federal government has launched an investigation into the matter after a voice audio clip surfaced online, in which Bobrisky allegedly claims his godfather arranged for him to serve his jail term in a private apartment.
The situation remains contentious, with many Nigerians expressing their thoughts and opinions on the matter.
