Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos has fixed April 9 as the date for the judgment of convicted cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky.
The judge also ordered that he should be returned to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s custody pending the judgment.
Bobrisky has earlier pleaded guilty to the four charges on Naira Abuse. the court kicked out the fifth and sixth cherges bordering on money laundering.
While being arraigned in the court this afternoon, Bobrisky pleaded with the court to tamper justice with mercy as he was not aware of the law on abusing the Naira. He promised to use his platform to educate Nigerians on the ills of abusing the Naira.
“My lord I wish that you can give me a second chance to use my platform to inform and educate my followers about spraying money.
I’m a social media influencer with over five million followers. I would do a video on my page and I will educate people about spraying money. I will not repeat it again my lord, I regret my actions my lord”.
The judge then told him that ignorance of the law is not an excuse to which Bobrisky replied,” I know my lord.’’
