Controversial social media personality and cross-dresser, Idris Olanrewaju Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, admitted to being a man before he was sentenced to prison.
Bobrisky was sentenced to six months imprisonment without an
option of fine for abusing the Nigerian currency, the Naira.
Before the sentence was pronounced, the Judge asked Bobrisky
about his sex, “I am a man,” he quickly replied.
He was then remanded to serve his jail term at the Ikoyi
Correctional Centre, with the judge ruling that the sentence would commence
from March 24, 2024, the day of his arrest.
Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in
Lagos, who handed down the sentence, stated that it was necessary to deter
others from similar acts of abuse and mutilation of the Naira.
Recall that Bobrisky was convicted on April 5 after pleading
guilty to a four-count charge of naira abuse brought against him by the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The counts included incidents where Bobrisky was accused of
tampering with N400,000 at Imax Circle Mall in Jakande, Lekki; N50,000 at Aja
Junction in Ikorodu; N20,000 at White Steve Event Hall in Ikeja; and another
N20,000 at an event hall in Oniru, Victoria Island, all between 2022 and 2023.
