Controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, on Friday, has pleaded guilty to the charges of naira abuse.

According to the PUNCH, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had, on Thursday, filed six counts of money laundering and abuse of naira against him.

But before the charge was read to the defendant, the EFCC’s prosecution counsel Suleiman Suleiman, prayed the court to strike out counts five and six (money laundering charges) and arraigned him on counts one to four.

Consequently, Justice Abimbola Awogboro struck out counts five and six.

When he was asked if he understood the charge that was read to him, he said,” Yes, I am guilty.”

Bobrisky had earlier arrived at 11:50am to the Federal High Court in Lagos for his arraignment on money laundering and naira abuse allegations

The EFCC had on Thursday filed six counts bordering on money laundering and abuse of the naira against Bobrisky.

The crossdresser, who had been in the EFCC detention since Wednesday night, failed to meet the administrative bail offered to him on Thursday.

Justice Abimbola Awogboro therefore convicted him after the review of the facts of the case.

In his allocutus, Bobrisky told the court that he was not aware of the law on abusing the naira.

He said that he is a social media influencer with over five million followers.

The judge then told him that ignorance of the law was not an excuse.

He said, “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.”

The cross-dresser who refers to himself as “Mummy of Lagos” pleaded guilty to the charges.
