Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, sentenced popular
crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, to six months in jail without the option of a fine.
Osun Defender reports that Bobrisky was arraigned and charged to court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for abuse of the Naira note.
Bobrisky was last Friday convicted by the Federal High Court in Lagos for abusing the Naira.
Justice Abimbola Awogboro convicted him after a review of the facts of the case.
He also ordered that he be returned to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commissionโs custody pending the judgment.
Bobrisky had earlier, in his allocutus, told the court that he was not aware of the law on abusing the naira.
He said that he is a social media influencer with over five million followers.
The judge then told him that ignorance of the law was not an excuse.
He said, โI know, My Lord. My Lord, I wish that you could give me a second chance to use my platform to inform and educate my followers about spraying money.
โI would do a video on my page and I will educate people about spraying money.
โI will not repeat it again. I regret my actions.โ
