Bobrisky Bags Six Months Jail Term Without Fine
By Joseph Sunday
Popular Cross Dresser, Idris Okuneye also known as Bobrisky has bagged six months jail term without fine.
Idris Okuneye (Bobrisky) was on Friday morning sent to six months prison for abuse of the Naira Notes by a Federal High Court in Lagos State.
It would recalled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, earlier arrested Bobrisky and got her convicted on the 5th of April, 2024 following his guilty plea, but reserved sentence until the 9th of April, 2024.
The court had ordered Okuneye to be kept in the custody of the EFCC pending sentencing.
However, due to federal government’s declaration of April 9, April 10 and April 11 public holiday, the case could not proceed as scheduled.
On Friday, Justice Abimbola Awogboro sentenced the convict without an option of fine.
The judge held that imprisonment would take effect from the date of the cross dresser’s arrest.
Okuneye was taken away by EFCC operatives immediately after his sentencing.
The EFCC had, on April 4, filed a six-count charge against Okuneye.
The charge bordered on Naira mutilation and money laundering.
He was consequently arraigned on April 5 and he pleaded guilty to the first four counts.
The court struck out the last two counts following an application by the EFCC.
On April 5, Mr Bolaji Temitope, a prosecution witness and Assistant Superintendent of EFCC, gave evidence before the court and narrated the circumstances surrounding prosecution of Okuneye.
After review of the facts of the case, EFCC counsel, Mr Suleiman Suleiman, prayed the court to convict the cross dresser.
According to EFCC, Okuneye committed the offences on March 24, at Circle Mall, Jakande, Lekki, Lagos State.
The commission stated that Okuneye tampered with the cumulative sum of N400,000 while dancing during a social event, by spraying same.
Okuneye also sprayed various tranches of money such as N20,000 and N50,000 at various events in 2022 and 2023, according to EFCC.
The offences contravene Section 21(1) Central Bank Act of 2007 and Section 19 of Money Laundering Act of 2022.
