Bobrisky and the cash
Idris Okuneye (alias Bobrisky), who was jailed six months by a Federal High Court in Lagos State, on Friday is cooling his heels in the male cell, not among the female.
To clear confusion arising from whether the cross-dresser will be among male or female inmates, prison officials were emphatic that Bobrisky who admitted inside the court that he was a man, would be among male inmates.
They however added that he would be under strict watch to protect her from male inmates who may make advances at her.
Recall that a Federal High Court in Lagos State sentenced the convicted cross dresser to six months in prison for abuse of the naira.
The court did not give the cross dresser an option of fine.
Bobrisky was prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The court convicted him on April 5, following his guilty plea, but reserved sentence until April 9. He had been 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.
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.
