Bobrisky vs VDM: We won’t spare indicted officials – Interior Minister

Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has vowed to ensure effective sanctions are meted out to any official found wanting in the face of allegations that convicted cross dresser, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky, who was sentenced to 6 months in prison, was allegedly given an apartment outside the custodial facility

Speaking at a media interface Friday in Abuja, the minister said the suspension of senior officers of the Nigerian Correctional Service, NCoS, was to ensure unhindered investigation into the matter

He said: “We will not spare anybody no matter how highly placed. Let’s be patient. “Investigation is on. But let’s be assured that nobody will be shielded & nobody will be protected.”

Tunji-Ojo expressed confidence in the ability of the investigative panel headed by the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Dr Magdalene Ajani, to discharge its mandate creditably. According to him, members of the committee were carefully selected, with two of them from the civil society community
