Controversial Nigerian social media personality Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky, is again within the headlines for his philanthropic efforts from behind bars. Photos circulating on-line appear to show a donation of chairs delivered to the Nigerian Correctional Service in Lagos’ Kirikiri prison.
Bobrisky is currently serving a six-month sentence for Naira abuse. The viral photos depict several plastic chairs with an inscription stating, “To Nigeria Correctional Service, Courtesy – Idris Okuneye Olanrewaju.” These chairs are reportedly intended for the prison’s visiting area.
Reactions to Bobrisky’s donation have been mixed. While some applaud his act of charity, others query the timing of the gesture. Some comments online suggest this can be a strategic move to achieve favor for early release.
This news comes after Bobrisky’s initial incarceration sparked discussions about his therapy inside the jail system. Nigerian authorities confirmed he’s housed within the male cell block.
Whether this donation signifies a genuine act of kindness or a calculated move stays to be seen. One thing is certain: Bobrisky continues to be a source of conversation and controversy, even from behind bars.
