Eko Hot Blog reports that controversial crossdresser, Okuneye Idris aka Bobrisky has been convicted by a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Friday, April 5, 2024, after pleading guilty to the charges of naira abuse levelled against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
“Bobrisky pleaded guilty to the four-count charge of Naira abuse. He however asked to be pardoned, adding that he was not aware of the laws binding the Naira abuse and vowed to educate his fans on social media about it.”
“I am a social media influencer with over five million followers. I would do a video on my page and I would educate people about spraying money. I will not repeat it again, My Lord. I regret my actions, My Lord. I am a first-time offender,’ he said.”
Subsequently, Justice Abimbola Awogboro scheduled April 9, 2024, for his sentencing and ordered that he be held in EFCC custody until then.
Meanwhile, the EFCC also lambasted an activist and a former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, Chidi Odinkalu, who described the commission’s action as an abuse of power.
“The commission views such commentaries from Odinkalu as unbecoming of a former head of a major government agency…Odinkalu has a right to free speech as a Nigerian but such a right should be exercised with decorum and responsibility. The commission would not hesitate to take appropriate legal actions against such uncouth commentaries against its lawful mandate by anyone.”
“Odinkalu is warned and advised to ventilate his rascally opinions more responsibly in future situations.”
