Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos has provided insight into the rationale behind the six-month imprisonment of controversial cross-dresser and social media personality, Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky.
The celebrity has remained in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) since his recent arrest.
In her judgment delivered on Friday, Justice Awogboro emphasized, “The act of mutilating the Naira notes has become a menace, which has continued to damage the image of the country.”
She further added, “Enough of people mutilating and tampering with our currencies. It has to stop. This will serve as a deterrent to others.”
