Naira abuse: I’m a man, Bobrisky tells court; gets 6-month jail

Finally, embattled trendy cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, on Friday clarified his gender status before the Federal High Court in Lagos, declaring that “I’m a male.”

The cross-dresser identified as a male.

Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos sentenced Bobrisky to six months in jail with no option of fine for abusing the Naira.

Before the sentence, the judge asked about his sex, and he replied that he was a man.

Delivering judgement, the judge also said the judgement would be a deterrent to others who were found abusing and mutilating the Naira.

The judge ruled that the jail term commenced on March 24, 2024, the day of his arrest.

Bobrisky had pleaded guilty to the charge of naira abuse.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had, on April 4, filed a six-count of money laundering and abuse of the Naira against him and on Friday arraigned him in court on a six-count charge ranging from abuse of the Naira and money laundering.

The court dismissed the money laundering charges, but convicted him of the Naira abuse after he had admitted to committing the crime.
