The social media celebrity was arraigned on Friday, April 5, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, before Justice Abimbola Awogboro sitting at the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos over mutilation of the Naira notes.
Justice Abimbola Awogboro deferred judgment in the matter to Tuesday, April 9, 2024, after Bobrisky pleaded guilty to a four-count charge of Naira abuse brought against him by the EFCC.
The judge ordered that the convict be remanded in EFCC custody pending sentence. The defendant’s counsel, Ayo Olumofin,
Speaking after the adjournment, the defendant’s counsel said; “There is no striking out. She pleaded guilty. The court is the master of the court. So there is nothing we can do about the adjournment. But we cited the relevant section to the honourable court that Idris is a first offender and by the relevant provisions of the Criminal Justice Act, the court will not impose maximum punishment on her
“What is the punishment? Six months or N50,000 fine. EFCC has considered the fine and they have even accepted the defendant's request to stop the abuse of Naira. We are not pained. The honourable court is the master of the court,” he added.

Witch-hunt. Nigeria is full of misplaced priorities.
ReplyDeleteThis is just a witch-hunt. Misplaced priority as usual by the Nigerian state. That offence didn't start with her, it's a Nigerian custom, even the high and mighty are guiltily of it. so how come she's being made the scapegoat?
ReplyDeleteIt’s about her lifestyle not any criminal offence.
ReplyDeleteI know that 50k is no problem for her but to embarrass the pretend moralists, I would pay that money for her and shame them.
Look at how quickly they processed her (persecution) dressed as prosecutin.
Even the high and mighty are guilty of it. I grew up witnessing the different ways people use the naira during celebrations, so why scapegoat her for it.
ReplyDeleteSis, most people are guilty of her offence as well.. Spraying naira.. I personally think some women are just annoyed for her cross dressing..... They just think, how can this man come to steal their stage.... It's a personal vendetta against her personality.
ReplyDeleteBut they have made her more popular in the last few weeks
Such a rubbish case and a waste of taxpayers money. Why have they not arrested those that spray money vulgarly?!! They should leave Bobrisky alone.
ReplyDeleteNo breast and no buttocks in court.😄
ReplyDeleteSilly boy, look at his mouth like pepeye mouth
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's an arranged setup.. with all Nija issues, Spraying naira has never been an issue. even the judge and Efcc officials have broken that law in the past
