How Bobrisky Promised To Help Me While In Prison – Segun Olowookere
SEGUN Olowookere, the young man who Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State recently pardoned after 14 years on death row in prison custody for stealing fowl and eggs has made another revelation.
But Olowookere, after his release, denied his involvement in the crime, saying he was framed by the police.
He was among other 53 inmates granted amnesty across Nigerian prisons in December 26, 2024.
According to him, several individuals promised to help him on his freedom during his time on death row at the Kirikiri Maximum Prison, Lagos State.
Among the individuals is the controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky.
Recall that Bobrisky was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in April 2024 over currency mutilation and abuse of naira notes.
After pleading guilty of the offence, he was sentenced to six months in prison without an option of fine, though he was said to have been let out of the correctional centre where he was serving his jail term by some personnel.

But Olowookere, while speaking with OSUN DEFENDER, said he was always with Bobrisky while in the prison alongside other inmates.
He said: “Bobrisky was in Kirikiri Maximum Prison for his six months jail term. We always sit together and discussed. He promised to help me on my case when he completed serving his jail term.
“Even most of his friends that are celebrities do come to see him. Eniola Ajao, Laide Bakare and others. Both of them also promised me that they would work on my case but they didn’t before I was eventually released by Governor Ademola Adeleke.
“Laide Bakare was surprised to see me at the 2025 crossover night organised by the state government at Freedom Park.”
