The Civil the Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has announced the immediate suspension of several senior officers of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) following allegations of misconduct exposed  in a viral social media video involving Mr. Idris Okuneye, ak Bobrisky.


The officers suspended include:

Michael Anugwa, Deputy Controller of Corrections (DCC), in charge of the Medium Security Custodial Centre (MSCC), Kirikiri, Lagos State.

In addition to the suspensions in Lagos, ASC II Ogbule Samuel Obinna, serving at the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Afikpo, Ebonyi State, has also been suspended for allegedly escorting a convicted inmate out of the facility without authorization.


In a separate development, the Board has also suspended Iloafonsi Kevin Ikechukwu, Deputy Controller of Corrections (DCC) at the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kuje, Abuja.
