The Federal High Court in Controversial cross-dresser and social media celebrity,Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky,has been sentenced by the Federal High Court in Lagos,to six months imprisonment.
The sentence was delivered by Justice Abimbola Awogboro,and without the option of a fine.
Bobrisky was arrested last week by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC,for abusing the local currency.
He pleaded guilty to a four-count charge of Naira abuse brought against him by the anti-graft agency.
Justice Awogboro,while delivering judgement on Friday held that “the act of mutilating the Naira notes has become a menace, which has continued to damage the image of the country”.
“Enough of people mutilating and tampering with our currencies. It has to stop. His will serve as a deterrent to others,” the judge added.
The prison term will start counting from the date of his remand.
