Bobrisky, the larger-than-life transgender celebrity, has found himself on the wrong side of the law. The Federal High Court in Lagos ruled, forcing Bobrisky to spend six months in jail, with no chance of an easy escape. How much is the fee you ask? It all stems from the overuse of Naira notes.
The story begins when Bobrisky gets caught up in a spiral of trouble caused by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Fast forward to last Friday, April 5, 2024, when Judge Abimbola Awogboro brought down the gavel and found Bobrisky guilty of forgery of Nigerian currency.
Now, this is not your typical courtroom drama. Bobrisky’s antics have always been a magnet for attention, with his lavish lifestyle and social media shenanigans leaving many in stitches. But this time, Law didn’t seem to be amused by his flashy ways.
Pleading guilty to four counts of abusing Naira, Bobrisky finds himself facing the music in a case that attracts national attention. Spraying about N490,000 like confetti may seem like harmless fun to some, but it is no joke in the eyes of the law.
When the hammer fell on Bobrisky’s fate, it was a stark reminder that even the most colorful characters are not above the law. It is a lesson in reverence for the almighty Naira and a cautionary tale about the consequences of crossing legal boundaries.
