Many people may have considered the six-month jail term handed to Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky as a punishment, but for the popular crossdresser, it was a time to reap.
Amid the chaos, Bob saw an opportunity to cash out, and cash out he did.
Up until this moment, Nigerians are yet to figure out who to blame in this whole Bobrisky drama.
How the Federal Government and the Nigerian Prisons got caught up in this drama is however a funny twist that no one expected.
Many were out here taking pity on Bobrisky, and thinking of how he would cope in the prison, unknown to them that Bob was chilling.
In fact, he was a VIP, as in Very Important Person.
All thanks to the latest drama, no one would have had knowledge of all that happened during Bobrisky’s time in prison.
After Bob’s release, VeryDarkMan leveled some serious allegations against the crossdresser and the EFCC.
However, one thing led to the other, and the Nigerian Prisons and even the Federal Government were indicted.
Falz, a popular rapper was also caught in the web.
But, in a swift reaction, Falz moved to exonerate himself.
He told Nigerians that he did not engage in any illegal dealings with Bobrisky, noting that the crossdresser only called him for assistance to enable him afford a VIP section in the prison.
However, he revealed that he turned down the plea.
VIP Prison
Falz said that Bob begged him for 3 million Naira to afford the VIP section.
But guess what?
When Bob came out from the supposed prison on August 5, 2024, he shared the names of Nigerian celebrities who supported him while he was in prison.
Could these donations be for the VIP section payment?
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had on April 5 secured the conviction of Bobrisky. He was charged on four counts bordering on naira abuse.
Following his release, Bobrisky urged Nigerians to follow the rules and abide by the law.
Bobrisky penned down a list of celebrities who contributed millions of naira to him, including Don Jazzy, Eniola Ajao, Victor Osimhen, Funke Akindele, and Tonto Dikeh.
He wrote: “Few people that know me know i love to appreciate Favour.
There’s dis popular words that say if you thank people who was there for you today you will get another one when you need them.
God bless you all for standing up for dis little child God bless you. There are still good people. Thank u sir dadd

The Women
In another post, Bobrisky said 10 Instagram slides are not enough for him to thank the women in his life, but he would make do and post them in batches.
The crossdresser asserted that women rule the world because these sets of women are the definition of real friends.
Here, he dropped another list of donations.
”Women rule d world. I’m gonna be appreciating dis first set of 10 women in my life.
I wish Instagram can make me post you all once but it’s fine. I’m posting d next sweet souls after dis. You all are d REAL definition of friends.

If all this money was what Bob solicited for the payment of the VIP prison, then, there is trouble.
Do not be surprised.
It could be that expensive.
You see, Falz said Bobrisky reached out to him from prison.
Having such access to a phone in prison indicates that Bob was indeed chilling.
Did you see the box Bobrisky went to the supposed prison with?
A Separate Prison
Well, the drama is still unfolding and in no time, whatever is hidden will be brought to light.
Also Read: Why Bobrisky Was Separated From Other Inmates
As we speak, there are reports that Bob only spent 3 weeks in prison.
However, experts have explained the reason why Bobrisky was separated from other inmates.
Speaking on Arise TV The Morning Show on Friday, September 27, 2024, the Director General of the Prison Rehabilitation Mission, Bishop Kayode Williams, explained that accommodations were provided for inmates based on different categories.
He said: “There are accommodations for condemned prisoners, those sentenced to death, who must not mingle with other inmates.
“The second accommodation is convicted inmates, who are the owners of the prison.”
Addressing Bobrisky’s situation, Williams added, “the accommodation that is provided for males, are they going to bring Idris with his transgender body to go and sleep in the general cell? The first thing they do is decide how to treat someone like that.
“They provided him a special place for protective custody because, with his appearance, he would be in danger.
“He looks like a woman, moves like a woman, and there are homosexual inmates who would be willing to take things to extreme lengths.”
