What you should know as Bobrisky is sentenced to prison

The Federal High Court in Lagos has sentenced controversial cross-dresser and social media celebrity Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, to six months imprisonment.

Justice Abimbola Awogboro imposed the six-month term without the possibility of a fine.

Since his detention last week, the controversial celebrity has been under the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

The EFCC arrested him for abusing the local currency.

Before that, on April 5, Bobrisky entered a guilty plea to the anti-graft agency’s four counts of Naira abuse.

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. His will serve as a deterrent to others,” the judge added.

Bobrisky was later sentenced to six months in prison without the option of a fine by Justice Awoghoro.

The prison term will start counting from the date of his remand.
