Idris Olanrewaju Okuneye, also referred to as Bobrisky, is a controversial social media celebrity and transvestite who acknowledged being a man prior to receiving a prison sentence.
For misusing the Naira, the currency of Nigeria, Bobrisky was given a sentence of six months in prison with no chance of release and a fine.
Bobrisky instantly said, “I am a man,” when the judge queried him about his sex before the punishment was handed out.
The judge decided that the sentence would start on March 24, 2024, the day of his arrest, and he was remanded to serve his jail term at the Ikoyi Correctional Center.
The Federal High Court in Lagos’s Justice Abimbola Awogboro, who imposed the term, said that it was important to prevent future abuse and mutilation of Naira actions.
Remember that on April 5, Bobrisky was found guilty on four counts of naira misuse that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, or EFCC, had brought against him.
Aja Junction in Ikorodu; White Steve Event Hall in Ikeja; an event hall in Oniru, Victoria Island; and an Imax Circle Mall in Jakande, Lekki, all contained incidents in which Bobrisky was suspected of tampering with N400,000 between 2022 and 2023.
