Six Months In Prison Is The Sentence For Bobrisky.

Idris Okuneye, better known by his stage name Bobrisky, is a Nigerian transvestite who was sentenced to six months in prison without the possibility of fines. On Friday, April 12, early in the morning, Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos delivered the ruling. Following Bobrisky's guilty plea to a four-count charge of Naira misuse brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the judge dropped the hammer.

According to Justice Awogboro, the ruling would discourage those who enjoy misusing and disfiguring Nigerian cash. Bobrisky got into trouble last month when he sprayed money during the screening of Ajakaju, the highly anticipated movie starring actress and producer Eniola Ajao, at Film One Circle Mall in the upscale Lekki neighborhood of Lagos. Celebrities from Nigeria have already been imprisoned for misusing Naira. Actress Oluwadarasimi Omoseyin received a six-month prison sentence in February for trampling on and spray-painting fresh naira notes.
