The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Friday convicted the controversial cross-dresser and social media influencer, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky for abusing the Naira.
Bobrisky was convicted by Justice Abimbola Awogboro after the review of the facts of the case.
Meanwhile, in his allocutus, Bobrisky told the court that he was not aware of the law on abusing the naira, and that, he is a social media influencer with over five million followers.
He pleaded for mercy and requested for a second chance.
“I know, My Lord. My Lord, I wish that you could give me a second chance to use my platform to inform and educate my followers about spraying money.
“I would do a video on my page and I will educate people about spraying money.
“I will not repeat it again. I regret my actions.” Said, Bobrisky.
However, the Judge told Bobrisky that, there is no ignorance in law.
Recall, Bobrisky was arraigned on four counts of naira abuse preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
