Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky ,the guy who disrupts societal norms and live by deceit and Fake has succeeded in draging many people along wiith him in the descent towards the infamous side of life.
These is what you get when you climb on the ladder of society by deceit to achieve fame,wealth and recognition in a society that is fast losing its core values.
Over the Years,Bobrisky Who incured the wrath of his father and decent men Who frowned at his Cross -dressing done obviously to get noticed, attention and fame has however chosen to drag many people asking With him.
It isnt curious that few months After completion her Six months jail sentence,he has decided to bring along With him those Who benefited formally and infirmally from his penchant for destroying societal norms and values.
Apart from six Officials of the Nigeria correctional Services who are now in suspension for flouting Prison rules, he has gone further to involved the Famous Femi Falana family of lawyers and activist in his downward journey to Public ridicule.
It is important to note that while the Falana family as represented by Folarin Falana,Falz got involved through Bobrisky appeal for three million Naira Loan to Influence his allocation of Choice place in Prison.
Martins Vincent Otse,another social Media Influencer, Who got caught up in the reputation crisis has also dragged on the Falana family into the Controversy of Bobrisky travails especially his compromise of Prison Officials.
Also the coming into the ‘show’ by Folake Falana who took on VDM over the laters Attack on his brother is an image crisis for the activist family.
While the Job of defending client defies morality so far as it is With the simi of defending an accused,the societal fame which the head of the Falana clan,Femi Falana has enjoyed is on trial.
Also on trial is the Prison system of the country which has by the Bobrisky scandal portrayed the rot within the organisation supposedly set up to correct the anti-social behaviour of convicts and return them to the society as better citizens.
The takes by Bobrisky about the activities of the Six Officials now facing a probe for asking him to cough out three million Naira for a Choice accomodation,is a direct reflection of the inner workings of Officials of our Correction Organisation .
From all indications,the Nigeria correctional Facility is in need of a through clean up if it must perform its role as correction facility to reform jailed citizens.
This a big task for Tunji -Ojo, the Interior Minister Who promised to get down to the root of the Bobrisky scandal and punish officers Who have compromised the system..
Bobrisky’s exposee on the fraud in Our correctional Facility which was borne out of his desire to take with him as many people as possible in his downward journey to obsucrity,is not new in Our correctional Facility.
What he has only succeed in doing is to formalky bring into Public attention the rot in the system and the hopelessness of a corrective crusade for societal sanity.
It is Bobrisky today but yesterday and many years back influential and supposedly ‘respected’ citizens have compromised the Prison system as they did what Bobrisky did, maintain lavish lifestyle with their ill- gotten wealth inside the four walls of a Prison system.
This without gain saying, has succeeded in producing more criminals among those saddled with responsibility of correcting convicts.
Some years back,a retired Colonel in the army who served Under the late General Sani Abacha and also as a security Adviser under former President Jonathan,had a baby through his wife few months after his release from detention.
So many cases abound in Our Prison system of convicts and detainees spending the weekend at home With their families With the active connivance of Prison Officials.
In Our Prisons,where you sleep,what you eat and how you live is determined by how fat Your pocket is and Your ability to part with some of the stolen wealth. It is only the poor convicts that suffer and innmost cases become hardened after their release.
For the rich,they learn new tricks of stealing without detection and how to bemat the Law and its enforcers.
He was put in detention for Years by the Muhammadu Buharis government.

The question is how did he impregnated his wife at home while under protective detention. Your guess is as good as mine.
The fact that even Under protective custody, a detainee can have a ‘free’ life as a result of the compromise of the system and to a great extent the futility of the exercise because the Officials will always find a way to compromise the system for filthy lucre.
What then is to be done to restore sanity in the society?.
Bobrisky and Co
Honourable Minister Tunji -Ojos next task after he has succeeded in cleaning the Immigration system is the reorganisation and Restructuring of the Prison system such that both the rich and poor convicts can serve their tenure behind bara in line with their sentenced as pronounced by the jury if the society must be saved from the system.
