Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos has postponed the verdict for the convicted and controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly called Bobrisky, until April 9, 2024.

The judge also ordered that he should be taken back to the custody of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, (EFCC) until the judgment is made.

The fact that the crossdresser was apprehended by the EFCC on Wednesday, April 3rd at Pinnock Estate in Lagos State is no longer a new development.

A spokesperson for the commission, known as Dele Oyewale, confirmed the arrest and provided exclusive information to Linda Ikeji Blog. Oyewale stated that the reason for the arrest of the crossdresser was currency mutilation and abusing the Nigerian currency, the Naira. The crossdresser will soon face charges in court.

The commission went as far as publishing his mugshots, along with a statement providing more details about his arrest and explaining how his attendance at Eniola Ajao’s movie premiere, Ajanaku, resulted in his apprehension.

The Crossdresser appeared in court earlier today at the Federal High Court in Lagos. And was charged with six offenses related to the alleged misuse of the Nigerian currency and suspected involvement in money laundering. The person, named Idris, admitted guilt for the first four charges related to the misuse of the currency. However, the counsel representing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Suleiman Suleiman, requested that the court dismiss the fifth and sixth charges concerning the allegations of money laundering. In response, Justice Abimbola Awogboro agreed and removed counts five and six from the case.

Bobrisky was subsequently brought before the court and faced charges one to four, to which he admitted guilt. He earnestly implored the judge for an opportunity to redeem himself, vowing to utilize his influence to enlighten and educate his followers on the act of showering money.

He pleaded with the judge to show mercy, stating that he was unaware of the law regarding the misuse of the Naira.
