Controversial cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has expressed a surprising desire to return to the Kirikiri Correctional Centre.
Bobrisky, who was released on August 5, 2024, after serving a six-month prison sentence for violating currency regulations by spraying naira notes at parties, made this statement during an appearance on the show “Curiosity Made Me Ask,” hosted by content creator Bae U Barbie.
Bobrisky had been sentenced on April 12, 2024, by Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court, Lagos, with no option of a fine.
Reflecting on his time in prison, Bobrisky likened it to a vacation, saying, “I see my jail term as a vacation. You know, on vacation, you go and rest. I’ve been working so hard, and I think their decision was okay for me.”
He added that the intention behind his imprisonment was to break him, but confidently stated that it failed to do so, affirming, “Nothing happened to Mummy of Lagos. I’m still fine, I’m still good, and I will continue to be fine and good.”
During the interview, the host, Bae U, jokingly remarked that prison seemed to suit Bobrisky and asked if he would consider going back.
To this, Bobrisky replied, “I would love to go, maybe for a short term like that again. Short term, not long-term.”
He explained that his willingness to return was motivated by a desire to challenge those who sought to break him, stating, “I have never seen anywhere you are going to sentence someone to prison for spraying money.”
Bobrisky found the entire situation amusing, pointing out that his crime was simply spending his own money. “It’s funny to me. Everything happened like a movie.
Spraying of money? It’s my money. I’m not owing anybody money. I did not steal money. I did not kidnap, I did not rape. I did not kill anybody. I spent my own hard-earned money, and I was sentenced to where we have a lot of criminals,” he said.
Despite his prison experience, Bobrisky remains defiant and strong, stating, “But like I always say, I’m a very strong person.
If I have chosen this lifestyle to be who I wanna be, then I should be ready for the worst. And the worst that has happened is sending me to prison because, obviously, I did not do anything, I did not kill anybody.”
However, Bobrisky rejected the label of an ex-convict, arguing that being sentenced for spraying money does not qualify as a true conviction. “I’m not an ex-convict because I can’t be convicted for spraying money. So I won’t accept it,” he asserted.
