Minister of Interior Affairs 

An independent panel of investigators has been inaugurated by the Federal government to probe allegations of corruption and gross violations of standard operating procedures within the Nigeria Correctional Service NCoS.

Inaugurating the investigative panel, the Honourable Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo directed that the committee must also look at the recent allegation that some correctional service personnel had provided an alternative accommodation for convicted cross dresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky.

During the inauguration of the panel on Monday in Abuja, the Minister said it became necessary in order to sanitize the Service towards attaining transparency and accountability.

Recall that the Minister, who is also the Chairman of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB), had suspended several officers overseeing the Maximum and Minimum Custodial Centres in Kirikiri, Lagos State, following allegations of misconduct involving Bobrisky.
