Bobrisky may spend Eid-il-fitri holiday in EFCC’S net
Controversial personality, Okuneye Idris, widely known as Bobrisky, faces the possibility of detention over the Eid-il-Fitri break.
Bobrisky was apprehended on April 3 and subsequently convicted by a Federal High Court in Lagos on April 5, 2024. He pleaded guilty to charges brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), specifically related to Naira abuse.
The EFCC presented a six-count indictment against Bobrisky, primarily focusing on Naira abuse and alleged money laundering.
During the court proceedings, the EFCC prosecutor requested the dismissal of two of the counts, five and six.
While Bobrisky admitted guilt to the four counts of Naira abuse, he appealed for leniency, citing ignorance of the laws regarding Naira abuse and expressing intent to educate his social media followers about it.
“I am a social media influencer with over five million followers. I would do a video on my page, and I would educate people about spraying money. I will not repeat it, My Lord. I regret my actions, My Lord. I am a first-time offender,” he said.
