Tensions rose during the ongoing ₦15 million bribery probe at the House of Representatives on Monday when a prison officer revealed that controversial crossdresser Bobrisky had allegedly donated chairs during his time in custody.
The officer’s testimony sparked concerns about potential security breaches, which reportedly led to Bobrisky’s transfer from a minimum-security prison to a maximum-security facility.
During the hearing, a House of Representatives member raised a critical question: “Is it a tradition that an inmate in custody can actually make donations?” The lawmaker’s query put the prison officer on the spot, demanding clarity on whether Bobrisky’s donation of chairs, which could have compromised security, was standard practice within the prison system.
The officer, appearing hesitant, initially tried to steer the conversation in a different direction, avoiding a direct response. However, the panel pressed him to answer with a simple “yes” or “no.” After much reluctance, the officer finally admitted, “No.”
The admission raised eyebrows among the lawmakers, leading to further scrutiny of Bobrisky’s time in custody. The officer’s testimony suggested that the donation may have played a role in Bobrisky’s sudden transfer to a more secure prison facility, citing security concerns.

Bobrisky has been under investigation for allegedly bribing Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) officials to evade a money laundering charge, with activist VeryDarkMan also presenting evidence in the case.
As the hearing continues, more revelations are expected to surface, with lawmakers now focused on the broader implications of inmates making donations while in custody and how such actions could pose security risks within the prison system.
