Bobrisky has been sentenced to six months in jail without the option of a fine for violating the Naira’s abuse laws.
Popular Nigerian crossdresser Idris Okuneye Olanrewaju, commonly known as Bobrisky, has been sentenced to six months in jail without the option of a fine by Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos. The judgment was delivered on April 12, 2024, following Bobrisky’s arrest on April 4th for Abuse of Naira at a movie premiere. Initially arraigned by the EFCC on charges including Money laundering, the court dismissed those charges but convicted Bobrisky for Naira Abuse, to which he confessed. He was remanded in EFCC detention in Lagos until the court’s judgment. The judgment was initially scheduled for April 9 but was postponed due to the Eid-Fitri public holiday.
