Recall that Bobrisky has been involved in the saga because of his jail time for the naira abuse. In a viral video, it was claimed that the socialite paid some officers of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) to have special treatment in prison.

The incident dominated Nigeria’s social media space for months, but the federal government, in its latest comment, said the development reflects institutional issues.
