In a stunning turn of events, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has accused well-known transvestite Idris Olanrewaju Okuneye, better known by his stage name Bobrisky, of abusing Naira. Okuneye has pled guilt to the accusations.
Bobrisky appeared before the Federal High Court in Lagos, facing a six-count charge related to alleged Abuse of the Naira and purported Money Laundering activities.
Bobrisky entered a guilty plea to the first four offenses, which were related to the abuse of Naira notes, after the charges were read to him. Suleiman Suleiman, the EFCC’s attorney, asked the court to dismiss counts five and six, which deal with charges of money laundering, prior to the plea.
Responding to the prosecution’s request, Justice Abimbola Awogboro granted the motion and subsequently struck out counts five and six from the indictment.
With the Money Laundering charges no longer in contention, Bobrisky was left to face only counts one to four, all related to Naira abuse. Upon being asked if he comprehended the charges against him, Bobrisky boldly affirmed his guilt, stating, “Yes, I am guilty.“
The development marks a significant legal twist in the ongoing case involving Bobrisky, whose flamboyant lifestyle and social media presence have often courted controversy.
As the legal proceedings unfold, observers await further developments and potential sentencing in light of Bobrisky’s admission of guilt to the charges levelled against him.
