BREAKING: BOBRISKY PLEADS GUILTY TO ABUSE OF NAIRA
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has charged well-known cross-dresser, Idris Olanrewaju Okuneye, also referred to as Bobrisky, at the Federal High Court in Lagos.
Bobrisky entered a guilty plea to the first four counts, which involved Naira abuse, as soon as the charge was read.

However, Suleiman Suleiman, the EFCC’s attorney, sought the court to exclude counts five and six due to concerns about money laundering before the indictment was read.
Counts five and six were then stricken out by Justice Abimbola Awogboro.
This made it possible for Bobrisky to be arraigned on counts one through four, which deal with the misuse of naira.
When the counts were read, Bobrisky was asked if he understood the charge that was read to him, he replied, “yes, I am guilty”.
