Controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has opened up on his experience at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre.
The 33-year-old Instagram celebrity was sentenced to six months in prison on Friday, April 12, 2024, without the option of a fine by Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court, Lagos, for abusing the naira and was released on Monday, August 5.
In an interview on the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast aired on Saturday, Bobrisky said his experience in prison was like a vacation because he needed the time to rest.
He said, “Who is an ex-convict? You brought me to come and embarrass me or what? I am not an ex-convict because I cannot be convicted for spraying money. So, I am not an ex-convict. I will not accept that. But if you say ex-man, I can say yes. Because I was once a man way back, I cannot even remember.
“You said it is an excursion. To me, I see it as a vacation. Vacation to go and rest. I have been working so hard. So their decision was okay for me. They decided to break me, but sadly, nothing happened to the mummy of Lagos.”
Bobrisky added that he was sentenced to prison by people who wanted to break him, stressing that his incarceration happened to him like a movie.
The crossdresser, however, said he is not an ex-convict, despite his recent prison sentence, adding that he would spray dollars and not naira at events in the future.
He said, “These people wanted to break me. Everything happened to me like a movie. Spraying of money? It is my money. I did not owe anybody money. I did not steal. I did not kidnap. And I was sentenced to where we have kidnappers, robbers.
“I am still going to spray money, but I will only spray dollars, not naira.”
Speaking on the reason he pleaded guilty in court, Bobrisky said, “If I had told the judge I was not guilty, she would give me bail, and I would go to my house. I told the judge I was guilty because I was the one showing on the video.
“I believed that when I told the judge the truth, whether my lord was a man or a woman, I did not care. It now depends on my lord to decide whether I would be given the option of fine, community service or anything. But my lord chose to sentence Bobrisky to prison.”
Speaking further, Bobriksy disclosed that he was locked in the male section of the correctional centre, adding that he was not kept in the Very Important Person section.
He said, “I was at the male correctional centre, and I loved it. If they had given me the female correctional centre, I would not have fun. I would not enjoy myself”.
“While at the male correctional centre, I was the only different person. So people were friendly to me. They were showing me care. They were giving me stuff. If I had stayed in the female, who would have shown me care and bought me food?
“But I was in the female EFCC custody. Because there were four people in the room. Like four to five guys in a room, and obviously, this is a baddie with boobs, a nice shape. So, they would not put me among those guys.”
