Controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, has been sentenced to six months in jail by the Federal High Court in Lagos, Nigeria with no option of a fine.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrested Bobrisky over currency mutilation and abuse of naira notes.
EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, told Channels Television in a telephone chat on Thursday (11 April) that the crossdresser was arrested in Lagos on Wednesday night.
“He (Bobrisky) was arrested Wednesday night in Lagos,” the anti-graft agency official said.
Bobrisky has been in the news for various controversial reasons including winning the “Best Dressed Female” Award at a movie premiere on 25 March 2024, a development that irked many entertainers.
Amid the social outrage, Force spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, said there is no provision in the law suggesting that crossdressers in Nigeria should be arrested.
