Bobrisky: Investigate alleged bribery of NCoS officers immediately, FG roars
The Federal Government on Wednesday ordered an unconditional and comprehensive investigation into the allegations of bribery and corruption within the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).
The order was issued by the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, who spoke through his media aide, Babatunde Alao.
Recall that in a leaked audio, popular crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, claimed that he bribed some unnamed officers of the service to enable him to spend his jail term outside the correctional facility.
The audio, which was leaked by a popular social critic, Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan has been denied by the crossdresser.
However, the minister, while reacting to the incident, said any form of indiscipline, unprofessionalism and corruption in the service will attract severe consequences.
“The Ministry will not tolerate any compromise on its core values of integrity, transparency, and accountability. We will leave no stone unturned in rooting out corruption and ensuring that those found culpable face the full wrath of the law,” the statement said.
The minister has directed a special investigative team headed by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani, to probe the allegation and submit a comprehensive report.
He reassured the public that the investigation would be rigorous, transparent, and impartial, and that appropriate disciplinary actions will be taken against any personnel found guilty.
