Popular crossdresser, Bobrisky has been convicted by a Federal High Court in Lagos after pleading guilty to charges related to the abuse of the Naira.
Bobrisky was brought before the court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a six-count charge, four of which pertained to abusing the Naira and two to money laundering following his arrest on Wednesday.
But two of the charges on money laundering were dropped.
The arrest came after a video surfaced showing him spraying wads of cash at the premiere of Eniola Ajao’s ‘Beasts of Two Worlds’ movie on March 24, 2024.
According to a report by the newspaper Punch Nigeria on Friday, April 5, the social media influencer told the court he was unaware that tampering with the Naira note or coin is an offence punishable by law.
Bobrisky told the court he was remorseful; adding that should he be given a second chance, he would take the opportunity to educate his followers against spraying money. He also promised to upload a video on the subject matter and never to repeat the mistake. Justice Abimbola Awogboro convicted Bobrisky after a review of the facts of the case.
