Naira Mutilation: I’m Guilty, Bobrisky Pleads

Popular cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, a.k.a. ‘Bobrisky’ on Friday pleaded guilty to a four-count charge of abuse of the naira and money laundering preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at a Lagos court.

Bobrisky arrived at the Federal High Court in Lagos around 11:50 a.m. for his arraignment on charges of money laundering and abuse of the naira.

He was originally arraigned on a six-count charge, but two of the charges were dropped following a discussion between the parties.

As a result, Justice Abimbola Awogboro struck out counts five and six.

Bobrisky was then charged with counts one to four, and he pleaded guilty to these charges.

When asked if he understood the charge read to him, he replied, “Yes, I am guilty.”

Recall that the EFCC filed six counts against Bobrisky, including charges of money laundering and abuse of the naira.

He had been in EFCC detention since Wednesday night and was unable to meet the administrative bail offered to him on Thursday.
