Controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, is set to regain freedom from the Kirikiri Correctional Centre on August 5, 2024, after serving a six-month sentence for abusing the naira.
According to a prison source and confirmed by Bobrisky’s lawyer, Ayo Olumofin, the cross-dresser will be released without any special ceremony. Olumofin stated, “Yes, it’s about that time for him to be released. There is nothing specific that would be done during his release. I might not go. I’m engaged outside Lagos. Maybe other lawyers will go.”
Bobrisky was sentenced to six months imprisonment on April 12, 2024, for spraying naira notes at parties, an offense that contravened Section 21 (1) of the Central Bank Act 2007. Despite filing an appeal, it is unlikely to be heard before his release date.
