Abuse Of Naira: Bobrisky Jailed For Six Months With No Option Of Fine
Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos has sentenced cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, to six months in jail with no option of fine.
The judgement was handed this morning, April 12.
Recall that on April 5, EFCC arraigned Bobrisky in court on a six-count charge ranging from Abuse of the Naira and Money laundering. The court, however, dismissed the money laundering charges but convicted him for Naira Abuse after he confessed to the crime. The court also ordered that he be remanded in EFCC detention in Lagos.

The judge also adjourned hearing for judgement into the case to April 9. However, the court couldn’t sit due to the April 9 to April 11 Eid-Fitri public holiday.
In court, Bobrisky declared himself as male when questioned about his gender. The judge emphasized that sentencing Idris Olarewaju Okuneye to prison for misusing the Nigerian Currency aims to discourage others from engaging in Naira abuse.
Bobrisky was later directed to serve his prison sentence at the Ikoyi Correctional Facility.
