Popular crossdresser Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, has been released from prison, much to the delight of his supporters. This development comes after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) secured his conviction on April 5 for the mutilation of naira notes, an offense taken seriously by Nigerian authorities.
Okuneye was charged by the EFCC on four counts related to the abuse of the Nigerian currency. The charges stemmed from an incident where Bobrisky was seen defacing naira notes, a violation of the law that prohibits such actions. During his court appearance, he pleaded guilty to all charges before Justice A.O. Awogboro at the Federal High Court in Lagos.
Following his guilty plea, Bobrisky faced the legal consequences of his actions. However, after serving his sentence, he was released on Monday, August 5, 2024. His release has been met with a wave of excitement from his friends and fans alike.
