Bobrisky regains freedom after 4 months in prison for spraying naira notes

The popular socialite was sentenced to prison six month ago without an option of a fine.

Nigerian popular transgender, Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky has finally been released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

News of the release of the Lagos socialite was confirmed by Bobrisky’s friend Abiodun Folashade Tokunbo via a video posted on her Instagram on Monday.

Her caption read, “Finally, O.U.TTTTT… BOBRISKYYYY fine die.” Bobrisky commented on the post saying, “I love you.”

Bobrisky was arrested in April 2024 for mutilation of the naira during the premiere of the film Beast of Two Worlds on March 24, 2024.

Okuneye was charged by the EFCC on four counts bordering on naira abuse which he pleaded guilty to.

The court sentenced Okuneye to six months imprisonment without the option of a fine on Friday, April 12, 2024.

Bobrisky advises Nigerians not to spray money.

Shortly after his release, Bobrisky pleaded with Nigerians to stop mutilation of naira notes.

“Don’t spray money, unless you’ll be a landlord inside Kirikiri. It’s not just about killing or any criminal activity, something light like this can take you there. I’m only focusing on my friends who were there for me, and I’m grateful. I’m not thinking about any other person,” Bobrisky said.
