Idris Okuneye, often known as Bobrisky, is a well-known transgender person who was sentenced to six months in prison without the possibility of a fine by a Federal High Court in Lagos.
Remember that last Friday, April 5, 2024, Bobrisky was found guilty by Judge Abimbola Awogboro of abusing and mutilating the Naira notes after being apprehended and charged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFFC).
Following Bobrisky’s guilty plea to a four-count allegation of tampering with N490,000 by spraying, which was brought against him by the EFCC, the court set the date for punishment.
According to Justice Awogboro, the ruling will discourage those who enjoy misusing and disfiguring Nigerian cash.
The Judge did, however, mandate that Bobrisky’s imprisonment begin on March 24, 2024, the day of his arrest.
Before the convict’s sentence was announced on Friday, there was a small drama in the courtroom when the judge inquired about Bobrisky’s sex to which he promptly replied that he was a guy.
