The Nigerian House of Representatives has mandated the Nigerian Correctional Service to provide CCTV footage of the time spent by popular social media influencer, Bobrisky, during his reported stay in prison. The directive was issued amidst rising public interest and scrutiny over the conditions surrounding the influencer’s incarceration.
The order followed recent allegations circulating on social media, questioning the integrity of Bobrisky’s time in detention. Lawmakers emphasized the need for transparency and accountability, insisting that the footage be produced as part of an ongoing investigation into the operations of the Correctional Service.
