The Federal High Court in Lagos has handed a six-month jail term sentence to Idris Okuneye, a popular crossdresser known popularly as Bobrisky, for abusing the naira.
Justice Abimbola Awogboro issued the judgement on Friday morning. Awogboro denied Okuneye the option of a fine, saying the verdict would serve as a deterrent to anyone abusing or mutilating the currency.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrested Okuneye on April 4 for alleged money laundering and abuse of the naira, then arraigned him a day later.
