Controversial socialite and Nigeria’s best-known transgender, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has pleaded guilty to the charges of naira abuse.
The socialite made the plea when he was arraigned in court today, Friday, April 5, 2024.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had, on Thursday, filed six counts of money laundering and abuse of naira against him.
However, 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) so that he could be arraigned on counts one to four.
Consequently, Justice Abimbola Awogboro struck out counts five and six
Bobrisky was driven to the Federal High Court premises in Ikoyi, Lagos, around 9 am in a white Hiace Toyota bus by EFCC operatives under armed police escorts.
