Cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has been sentenced to six months in jail with no option of a fine.
Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos made the pronouncement today after the court session. The judge had previously adjourned the hearing for judgment to April 9. However, the court could not sit due to the Eid al-Fitr public holiday from April 9 to April 11.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had arraigned Bobrisky in court on April 5 on a six-count charge, including abuse of the Naira and money laundering.
However, the court dismissed the money laundering charges but convicted Bobrisky for Naira abuse after he confessed to the crime and pleaded guilty.”
