Bobrisky still in custody as Eid-El-fitr Stalls Sentencing

by Area Talk

Following the declaration of public holiday to mark the 2024 Eid-El-fitr by the Federal government yesterday has stalled the judgment by a Federal High Court in Lagos against convicted crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, over naira abuse.

Bobrisky was prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for naira abuse.

The court, however, reserved the sentence until April 9 (yesterday) and ordered that Bobrisky be remanded in EFCC custody pending the sentence.

However, the case could not proceed following the declaration of Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday as public holidays by the federal government to mark Eid.

Recall that the EFCC, on April 4, filed six counts against the cross-dresser bordering on naira mutilation and money laundering. He was arraigned on April 5 before Justice Abimbola Awogboro.

He, however, pleaded guilty to the first four counts, as the court had earlier struck out the last two counts following an application by the EFCC.
