Instagram crossdresser, Mr. Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has been sentenced to a six-month jail term by Justice Abimbola Awogboro of a Federal High Court in Lagos.
Bobrisky was arraigned and charged to court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for abuse of the Naira.
Justice Awogboro, while sentencing the convict, said the judgment would be a deterrence to others who may want to abuse or mutilate the naira.
Before the sentence, the judge asked about his sex, and he quickly replied that he is a man.
The judge ruled that the jail term commenced on March 24, 2024, the day of his arrest.
Recall that the court had, on April 5, convicted Bobrisky after he pleaded guilty to the charge of abusing the naira filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The judge therefore postponed the sentencing to Tuesday, April 9, 2024. However, the day was declared a public holiday by the Federal Government for the Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
Bobrisky had, last Friday, after his conviction, pleaded with the court to give him a lesser punishment as he was not aware of the law concerning abuse of the naira.
