Crossdresser, Okuneye Idris popularly known as Bobrisky has been convicted by a Federal High Court in Lagos on Friday, April 5, 2024, following his guilty plea to charges of Naira abuse brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, sets April 9th for sentencing.
The charges included Naira abuse and alleged money laundering, with Bobrisky pleading guilty to the former.
Despite his plea, he requested leniency, expressing remorse and a commitment to educating his social media followers about Naira regulations.
Consequently, Justice Abimbola Awogboro set April 9, 2024, for sentencing and ordered Bobrisky to remain in EFCC custody until then.
This decision came after Bobrisky’s arrest on April 3, 2024, prompted by a video showing him spraying new Naira notes at a movie premiere.
Additionally, the EFCC criticized activist Chidi Odinkalu for his remarks on the arrest, asserting that Bobrisky’s actions constituted a clear violation of Naira regulations, and warning against irresponsible commentary.
