Cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, commonly referred to by his stage name Bobrisky, was sentenced to six months in prison without the possibility of a fine by Federal High Court Judge Abimbola Awogboro in Lagos.
The decision was made on Friday, April 12, early in the morning. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Remember that Bobrisky was charged on six counts, including money laundering and abuse of the Naira, by the EFCC on April 5. However, once he admitted to the crime, the court dropped the money laundering allegations against him but found him guilty of Naira abuse. Additionally, the court ruled that he be kept in the custody of the EFCC in Lagos.
The judge subsequently postponed the case’s hearing until April 9. The Eid-Fitri public holiday, which fell between April 9 and April 11, prevented the court from convening.
