Bobrisky Pleads Guilty As EFCC Withdraws Money Laundering Charges

Popular cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, has pleaded guilty to the charges of naira abuse.

He pleaded guilty on Friday when he was arraigned before a Federal High Court in Lagos.

Osun Defender reports that six counts of money laundering and abuse of naira was filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Thursday.

The EFCC’s prosecution counsel Suleiman Suleiman, before the charge was read to the defendant, prayed the court to strike out counts five and six (money laundering charges) and arraigned him on counts one to four.

Consequently, Justice Abimbola Awogboro struck out counts five and six.

Bobrisky was then arraigned on counts one to four to which he pleaded guilty.

When he was asked if he understood the charge that was read to him, he said,” Yes, I am guilty.”
