Another source, who confirmed the existence of such an arrangement, said negotiations usually start from the court between inmates and prison officials. The source said the correctional service knew what it wanted to do, hence Bobrisky was allegedly shielded from inmates when he was admitted.
“Inmates who saw him at the medium prison before he was moved to maximum prison were not many. It was all planned.”
However, when contacted, the spokesperson for the Nigerian Correctional Service, Abubakar Umar, denied the report that there was preferential treatment for VIP convicts.
“We are not aware of such. They are alien to us. However, that information will be investigated. All inmates are given the same treatment. We don’t have any preferential treatment for anybody'' he insisted
The Federal government has launched an investigation after a purported voice audio clip of Bobrisky telling an unidentified man that his godfather was
