Nigerian Correctional Service

The attention of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Lagos State Command, has been drawn to some mischievous and misleading online publications.

Without prejudice to NCoS right to seek legal redress for the libellous publication, outlined are clarification on the said issues 

1. The convicted inmate, Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, aka Bobrisky, is currently serving a 6-month jail term for abuse and mutilation of the Naira note within the custody of the Custodial Centre in the State.

2. The Convict is entitled to the reformative and rehabilitative platforms, either educational and/or vocational training, as provided to all inmates in custody.

3. Idris has been allocated a shared cell with other convicted inmates. There are no en-suite or 'one bedroom flat' style cells in our Custodial center, as the cell blocks infrastructure are built as shared buildings, to accommodate multiple inmates.

4. The convict is remanded in a male Custodial center and observes all regulations and rules in place at the center, especially with regards to dress code. He wears male designated correctional clothing for convicted inmates.

5. Idris is being treated just as every other inmate, without any special amenities or privileges accorded. Note: All inmates are entitled to Family and Legal visit. These visits are monitored and regulated by NCoS.

6. The Controller of Corrections, Lagos Command, enjoined the general public to disregard the said malicious publication.
