Gist merchants are shouting at the rooftop that since the news of the Director-General, National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), Otunba Olusegun Runsewe being sent to prison broke that Idris Okuneye a.k.a Bobrisky’s supporters have been dancing ‘Gbese’ and ‘Tesumole’.
It is interesting to know that, a High Court of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on Thursday, January 9, 2019, sentenced Otunba Olusegun Runsewe to prison for contempt.
Justice Jude Okeke said Runsewe disobeyed the order of the court made on December 15, 2017.
The order was sequel to a motion drawn from a suit filed by Ummakalif Ltd against the Minister, Federal Capital Territory, Federal Capital Development Authority, the Director-General National Council for Arts and Culture, and the Minister for Culture and Tourism, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th defendants respectively.
The motion dated the 21st day of June, 2019, was brought pursuant to Order 47 rule 10 subrules 1, 2 and 3 of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory Civil Procedure Rules 2018.
The motion of the claimant sought for an order of court committing Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, the Director General of the 3rd Defendant to prison for contempt of the order of court made on the 15th December, 2017.
Justice Okeke described the act of Runsewe as highly contemptuous, adding that committing him to custody of the Nigerian Correctional Services will serve as deterrent to others who abuse office and disobey court orders with disdain.
For those who don’t know, we can tell you for free that Bobrisky and Runsewe are not in good terms as the duo have in recent times fought each other.
The latest was when Runsewe said; “Bobrisky started by selling and using bleaching creams, now, he has grown boobs, bums and hips. If a Bobrisky is doing well with his immoral lifestyle, how do you convince Nigerian youths to do the right thing? Bobrisky has the right, but not within the Nigerian environment.”
“There are others like him, but they live outside the country. If we don’t address Bobrisky as early as possible, he will form a team that will spread like wildfire. This will result in a lot of suicide cases, because the typical Nigerian parent would not want to see their child become a Bobrisky”
