- Michael Anugwa, Nigerian Correctional Service’s Deputy Controller claimed his suspension was only on social media.
- Anugwa revealed this while speaking to the House of Representatives’ joint committee investigating bribery allegations against the NCoS and EFCC.
- Anugwa noted that he hadn’t received an official letter on his suspension yet.
Michael Anugwa, the Deputy Controller of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), has denied reports that he was suspended from his role.
Anugwa, who oversees the Medium Security Custodial Centre (MSCC) in Kirikiri, Lagos, where popular crossdresser Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, was held, clarified his position while speaking to the House of Representatives joint committee on financial crimes and reformatory institutions.
The committee is currently investigating allegations of bribery involving both the Nigerian Correctional Service and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
When asked about his suspension, Anugwa dismissed the report, tagging it as a social media suspension. He stated that he had not been officially notified of any suspension, saying, “It was a social media suspension. I wasn’t served a letter.”
Watch the video below:
Recall that in a statement signed by Ja’afaru Ahmed, the Secretary of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB), he had announced that both Anugwa and Sikiru Adekunle, another Deputy Controller of Corrections at the MSCC, had been suspended. However, Anugwa’s comments suggest that this declaration wasn’t effective.
