Controversial cross-dresser and social media personality Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has been sentenced to six months imprisonment by the Federal High Court in Lagos. 

Justice Abimbola Awogboro delivered the verdict, ruling that Bobrisky must serve the full term without the option of a fine.

Bobrisky has been in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) since his arrest the previous week. He was detained by the EFCC for allegedly abusing the local currency.

Earlier in the proceedings, on April 5, Bobrisky pleaded guilty to a four-count charge of Naira abuse brought against him by the anti-graft agency.

Delivering judgment on Friday, Justice Awogboro held that “the act of mutilating the Naira notes has become a menace, which has continued to damage the image of the country”.

“Enough of people mutilating and tampering with our currencies. It has to stop. This will serve as a deterrent to others,” the judge added.

Justice Awogboro sentenced Bobrisky to six months imprisonment without the option of a fine. The prison term will commence from the date of his remand.
