Nigerian authorities have suspended officers of the Nigerian Correctional Service
The suspension was prompted by a clip linked to Mr. Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, who claimed a special place was arranged for him instead of being taken to the prison. The statement was signed by Secretary of the Boards of the institutions,
Ja’afaru Ahmed.
The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board in a statement on Thursday suspended forthwith the following Senior Officers of the Service:

Also, the Board has suspended ASC II Ogbule Samuel Obinna, serving at the Medium Security Custodial Centre (MSCC), Afikpo, Ebonyi State, for allegedly accompanying a convicted inmate out of the Custodial Centre to a location outside the facility.
In another related development, the Board has equally suspended another Senior Officer of the Service, Iloafonsi Kevin Ikechukwu, Deputy Controller of Corrections (DCC), In-Charge of Medium Security Custodial Centre (MSCC), Kuje- Abuja, for allegedly receiving monies on behalf of an inmate.
The suspension of these Officers is to allow for further investigation on the various allegations while assuring that the outcome would be made public when concluded.
