According to human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong, controversial cross-dresser and social media personality Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, is expected to face challenges during his time in prison.
According to Effiong, Bobrisky is not a freedom fighter and does not seem like someone who could stay in a restricted environment under harsh and excruciating conditions.
Effiong’s opinion came after a Court in Lagos sentenced Bobrisky to six months imprisonment for abusing the Nigerian currency, Naira.
Justice Abimbola Awogboro handed down the six-month sentence without the option of a fine.
Recall that the controversial celebrity has been in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, since his arrest last week.
However, following his sentencing by the court, the human rights lawyer fears that Bobrisky will be confronted by a culture shock when he enters Ikoyi Prison.
In a post on his X handle, Effiong suggested that he would begin to adjust to his new world after a few days.
He said: “Bobrisky will have a difficult experience in the Custodial Centre (prison) because he is not a freedom fighter and does not seem to me like someone that can stay in a restricted environment under harsh and excruciating conditions.
“The main key to surviving imprisonment is mental strength and courage.
The prison wall only breaks those who are not driven by strong convictions.
“For a freedom fighter, it is a training ground. No true activist goes to prison and comes out weaker. They always come out stronger and bolder. History shows this clearly. Any activist who is broken by imprisonment is a pretender.
If you are all about the ‘soft life’, and you are the fragile type and incapable of enduring physical discomfiture, you should avoid imprisonment.
Some of us came out stronger after our imprisonment because we have always been mentally prepared for it and due to our strong ideological disposition.
“Bobrisky will be confronted by a culture shock when he enters Ikoyi Prison and realizes that it is a different world from what he knows.
“After a few days, he will begin to adjust to his new world.”
